5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 21:00, 17 September 2019 (UTC).
This impressive article has been greatly expanded 5x from an already extensive article, and could easily pass GA review. The hooks are interesting, neutral, and supported by supplied sources. QPQ is done. No copyvio issues despite Earwig alarms triggered by quotations. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 05:54, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
