 * Review Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go! Meets core policies and guidelines, and in particular: is neutral; cites sources with inline citations; is free of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism. Earwig's copy violation detector: Yellowknife Post Office report gives it a clean bill.  DYK nomination was timely (article was a 5X expansion) and article is easily long enough.  Except for paragraph three, Every paragraph is cited. Hooks references are verified and cited. All hooks are hooky enough, I think, and relate directly to the essence of the article.  they are interesting, decently neutral, and appropriately cited. I personally would rank order them as 1, Alt 2, Alt 1.  QPQ done. Article is somewhat wordy and repetitive, and probably could use editing.  However, this is not a DYK requirement, and I decline to impose it as a bar. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 20:55, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
