 * Symbol voting keep.svg Impressive and informative article, well worth its GA status. Long enough, well-written, well-referenced (no obvious violations from a spotcheck), and comprehensive as far as I can tell. Nominated within the time limit, QPQ done. AGF on offline source on ALT1, first hook checks out. Image is appropriately licensed and used in the article. Good to go! Constantine  ✍  15:07, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
