 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article is new enough, long enough (over 2,100 characters of prose), and generally within policy (it is neutral, well cited with inline citations, and free of any apparent copyright-related issues). Both the hook and the alternate (note: I have made minor improvements to both) are short enough, certainly interesting, accurate and properly cited, and definitely neutral. I have no strong preference for one over the other (either would be fine), although perhaps ALT1 is slightly more clear. Note that QPQ is not required. Everything looks to be in order, and I believe this article is good to go. Nice work, PhilMacD! Michael Barera (talk) 03:16, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
