 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article promoted to good article status. It's long enough, neutral, uses inline citations and I cannot see any major copyright violations (two of the top three results provided by Earwig's Copyvio Detector appear to have copied text from the article, the other result is "possible" due to the cited quote in the Legacy section). Hook is interesting, fewer than 200 characters, cited in the History section. QPQ has been done. - JuneGloom07    Talk  03:00, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
