5x expanded by RecycledPixels (talk). Self-nominated at 06:25, 5 June 2020 (UTC).
Article was 5x expanded in the last 7 days (9,833b to 55,858b). QPQ is not needed yet. Primary hook is interesting, cited, and short enough for DYK. References behind paywall accepted in good faith. Mccunicano☕️ 09:24, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
