 * Symbol voting keep.svg Earwig is clear. No apparent copy vios or close paraphrasing.  5X Expansion verified.  Easily long enough.  Timely nominated.  Hook is IMO interesting; the subject matter has drama, but the technical side of this effort is detailed and daunting.  Told the story well.  Hook is supported by in line/on line citation.  Every paragraph is cited.  QPQ confirmed.  Cited source is on line and confirms the hook.  I suppose one could criticize the hook, as it depends on a bad pun and an obscure acronym.

 * Parenthetically, I did add many categories (to this and several other articles in the subject area), as I discovered that the Wikipedia articles on the Falklands War were willy-nilly and idiosyncratically categorized.

There seems to be a British/Argentine divide in the articles and their linkage, and that border dispute should not be carried over into our encyclopædia.
 * As written, this article is a great addition to Wikipedia's library on the Malvinas War.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 00:44, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
