 * Symbol voting keep.svg The article is new enough (nominated within 7 days after its promotion), long enough and neutral. The source for ALT1 and ALT3 are books, so I can't verify them, but ALT0 and ALT2 are verifiable. All hooks are interesting, sourced, and of suitable length. QPQ done. The article is good to go!
