 * Symbol confirmed.svg Artical was promoted to GA-status and was DYK-nom'ed in due time. It is long enough, neutral and cites sources inline. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" reports "copyvio unlike". The hook is well-formatted and interesting. Its length is within limit, and its fact is sourced inline. Image is ©-free. QPQ was done. Good to go. CeeGee 09:46, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
