• Article was 5x expanded in the last 7 days (2475b to 21kb). Article is well-sourced, neutral, and copyvio-free; only pings on Earwigs are for some long proper titles and properly attributed quotes. QPQ has been completed. Image is properly licensed and reproduces well at thumbnail size. Hooks are cited, interesting, and short enough for DYK; AGF on the offline source in ALT3. I personally think ALT0 is the most interesting. Morgan695 (talk) 01:57, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
