Improved to Good Article status by Pi.1415926535 (talk). Self-nominated at 14:34, 31 August 2022 (UTC).
Gorgeously illustrated article. Promoted to GA within seven days of nomination, long enough and neutral, no close paraphrasing detected. All hook facts directly cited in body. Prefer ALT2 as most interesting and possessing some cross-national appeal – with no prejudice against the other hooks if the promoter so chooses. DigitalIceAge (talk) 02:27, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
