Improved to Good Article status by Jaguar (talk). Self-nominated at 20:26, 21 March 2017 (UTC).


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article was recently promoted to GA, is long enough, and meets criteria on citations, neutrality and plagiarism. The ALT1 hook is interesting, short and verified in the article by an inline source. The original hook does not appear in the article (only mentioning the name as a result of the pub conversation, rather than the whole idea). QPQ has been completed.
