Re: Promotional tone - I recently edited the article reducing it to half the original size in an effort to address that concern after it was flagged for being promotional in tone. While the original editor who flagged seemed to accept the revision (has made edits since then and not issued flags) suggestions or edits to further improve the article are welcome and appreciated Marpet98 (talk) 18:29, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
