 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is new, long enough, and meets policy on neutrality, plagiarism and sourcing. Hooks are cited in-line, interesting, and short enough; I prefer the original above the others on its historic grounds, but ALT1 and ALT2 are fine. QPQ has been completed. Very interesting read, as well!  Sounder Bruce  03:25, 28 July 2017 (UTC)
