 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is recently passed to GA, is long enough and conforms to relevant policies on neutrality and formatting. It is comprehensively covered, well ordered and free from copyright issues according to earwigs copyvio (earwig is picking up several quotations which are clearly indicated).
