Improved to Good Article status by Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk). Self-nominated at 11:55, 17 December 2016 (UTC).


 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough. Long enough. QPQ done. Article is well-sourced with no policy violations. There's a high Copyvio percentage but it is entirely attributed to a long quote of the official citation. My only suggestion, then, would be to consider trimming down the quote block. Otherwise G2G. ALT0 & ALT1 appear to be superior to ALT2. Image appears properly licensed. DaltonCastle (talk) 02:32, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
