 * Review Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go! 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. DYK nomination was timely and article is easily long enough.  Every paragraph is cited. Hook references are verified and cited. No copyright violations or too close paraphrasing. Earwig's copy violation detector John Peirce report gives it a clean bill. All hooks are hooky enough, I think, and relate directly to the essence of the article.  It is interesting, decently neutral, and appropriately cited. QPQ done. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 12:59, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
