5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Images are freely licensed. I like ALT1 but it's not mentioned in the article (it would be good to add it anyway), so let's go with ALT2 and that fantastic image. ALT2 hook ref verified and cited inline. QPQ done. ALT2 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 01:09, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
