 * Symbol confirmed.svg The article was promoted to GA on April 11, nominated on the same day. Hook is interesting, supported by reliable sources, and of suitable length. The second hook is not really interesting enough though, so I have removed it. QPQ is great. The article is good to go! AdrianGamer (talk) 03:03, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
