  • New enough (article was promoted to Good Article status on 10 September 2015), long enough (18,389 characters "readable prose size"), fully referenced. Hook fine, AGF on offline source. Image on commons with an appropriate licence. QPQ done. Good to go. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:28, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
