 * Symbol voting keep.svg Easily long enough (1953 characters), created three days ago, solid sourcing, hook in article and short enough. No problems with the article, so ready to go.

Minor question: is "team-mate" proper UK usage?  US usage has no hyphen, so I don't know whether it's an WP:ENGVAR issue or a typo.  Nyttend (talk) 02:19, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
