 * Comment: Although the connection is loose, add it to the Christmas Day pile please.

5x expanded by Miyagawa (talk). Self nominated at 14:23, 9 December 2014 (UTC).


 * Miyagawa, 5x: 344 -> 2100 B, expansion began on 9 Dec. Copyvio check done. The fact is not explicitly stated, but can be deduced from the facts in the article. I could verify the year of creation as 1986, but not the year of the official declaration in not in the reference (ref 3). Redtigerxyz  Talk 04:53, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I've added the cite - the year was mentioned in the first cite (rather than cite 3 which was previously listed for that). Miyagawa (talk) 12:51, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
