 * Symbol confirmed.svg Five-fold expansion between June 24 and July 5 (only slightly more than 7 days) confirmed. Article uses extensive in-line citations and is neutrally written.  Spot-checking does not reveal instances of unduly close paraphrasing, copyright violations or plagiarism. Hook is short and interesting enough and is supported by in-line citation to reliable sources.  No QPQ required as not a self-nomination. Based on licensing, image appears compliant as well, though not a particularly strong graphic at 100x100px. Cbl62 (talk) 18:21, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
