 * Symbol confirmed.svg 5x expansion verified (nearly 10x prose expansion on February 2, two days prior to nomination); article is long enough; article is written neutrally; QPQ verified; no copyvio found. Good to go! Suggest using main hook rather than alt1 as it gives the necessary context to understand why the 100-year discrepancy is interesting. The article's main picture is verified under CC BY-SA 2.0 so it can be used to supplement the hook if desired ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 18:39, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
