5x expanded by Cunard (talk). Self-nominated at 07:50, 11 May 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Congratulations on saving this interesting article from oblivion. The article qualifies for DYK as a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:01, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
