Improved to Good Article status by Etzedek24 (talk). Self-nominated at 23:20, 18 September 2018 (UTC).


 * Symbol confirmed.svg This is a newly-promoted GA; it has been nominated soon enough and is long enough. The hook facts are cited inline for ALT0 and ALT1 and either of these hooks could be used. I have struck ALT2 because it is not entirely supported by the article. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright violations or close paraphrasing. No QPQ needed.
