Hi LordPeterII, review follows: article created 17 October and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing from the sources; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; image is free and appropriately licensed; a QPQ has been carried out.
