 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article is long enough (>3000 characters), was new at the time of nomination, and is within policy (neutral, with adequate inline citations and no copyvios detected with Earwig's tool). The hook is short enough, accurate, neutral and interesting; it presents no formatting issues. I simply moved up an inline citation so that it fell right after the hook fact in the article. QPQ done. The image is in the public domain, appears in the entry, and looks okay at DYK size. Good to go. EricEnfermero (Talk) 18:31, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
