Comment: A day late on the expansion, but I can privately communicate an extremely good excuse if need be.

The article was expanded from 2,000 characters to 6,400 on February 17 and from 6,500 to 10,000 on February 24–25. Yes, it looks like the expansion was finished a day late. But it is said that Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy, so I'm willing to pass this.
The hook looks mildly interesting and DYK-worthy. Its source is an offline book, therefore the reference is accepted in good faith. The image is freely licensed. Good to go. --Moscow Connection (talk) 19:12, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
