 * Symbol confirmed.svg I had some concerns about the RS of the source, however, a cursory search on Google News indicates it's been referenced by Smithsonian Magazine, the Irish Times, and other RS, so I don't think we're in a position to question its veracity. The image is correctly labeled as "own work." QPQ done. Hook is interesting and of appropriate length. All three articles are new enough, long enough, and NPOV. No obvious copyvio. Looks good.
