Improved to Good Article status by Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk). Self-nominated at 03:34, 28 November 2016 (UTC).


 * Symbol voting keep.svg Recent good article (November 27). Well referenced with many offline sources. First two hooks are referenced and in the article. I don't see the third suggested hook in the source or in the article. No neutrality or copyright issues detected with bot. QPQ is done. One small concern is that all three hooks are pretty bland and not too interesting, but I will leave that for the nominator or the closing admin to decide. --KAVEBEAR (talk) 09:58, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
