 * Symbol confirmed.svg This is a newly promoted GA and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no policy issues. At 223 characters, the hook was too long, so I have trimmed it and suggested ALT1 and ALT2. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:02, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
