 * Symbol confirmed.svg QPQ done. Thorough article that is new and long enough. Article is properly inline-cited, mostly to contemporary newspaper articles; most of which are accessible online. Spotchecks did not reveal any copyvio/close paraphrasing issues. The hook is short enough and has a reliable inline source. Article appears to be written neutrally; as I am not familiar with the topic I cannot fully evaluate this though. Public domain photo per Commons (not suggested for front page). (A minor comment: Several organisation/company names are written in Italics; I am not sure if this is correct). Iselilja (talk) 13:32, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
