 * Review Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go! Promoted to GA. Meets core policies and guidelines, and in particular: is neutral; cites sources with inline citations; is free of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism. Earwig's copy violation detector: Graylag Goose report gives it a clean bill.  The articles that are ranked at 60+% have an attribution to the Wikipedia article.
 * Original image used in article and has permissions, and Commons license seems to be Okay. Clear at 100 pix.
 * DYK nomination was timely and article is easily long enough. Every paragraph is cited. Hook reference is cited in line from a scholarly paper——and verified. Hook is hooky enough, I think, and relates directly to the essence of the article.  It is interesting, decently neutral, and appropriately cited. QPQ done, although article is not yet promoted.  Cheers on a job well done! 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 21:47, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
