Improved to Good Article status by Casliber (talk). Self-nominated at 02:53, 8 December 2016 (UTC).


 * Symbol confirmed.svg GA status verified. Article meets DYK requirements for length, quality, and sourcing. Earwig found no significant copyvio (as you would expect from GA but you never know; there are some phrases in common but they are mostly technical terms that are hard to phrase any other way). The first hook is boring but I like ALT1 and checked its sourcing. QPQ done. Good to go with ALT1. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:50, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
