 * Symbol voting keep.svg This article is long enough and has been nominated soon enough after GA promotion. All the hooks have inline citations and could be used, but my preference is for the original. The image is in the public domain, the article is neutral and I detected no policy issues in the spot checks I made. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:26, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
