- Hi Ykraps, review follows: article moved to mainspace 17 March; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written; article is cited inline throughout to reliable sources; hook is interesting and mentioned in the article, cited offline but happy to AGF that this supports the statements in the article, given the extracts provided; a QPQ review has been started.
