 * Symbol confirmed.svg Promoted to GA on 16 July; long enough, well referenced and within policy. No close paraphrasing found on spotcheck of sources. QPQ not required since not a self-nom. All hooks are verified by their respective inline citations - personally I think ALT2 is quite fun. 97198 (talk) 03:42, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
