Improved to Good Article status by Epicgenius (talk) and Kew Gardens 613 (talk). Nominated by Epicgenius (talk) at 21:31, 20 January 2019 (UTC).
Detailed Good article, on plenty of good sources, the few offline accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I prefer the original hook, but if money is wanted, that's also approved. - Article: could the IND be explained sooner, for the uninitiated? I positioned some pics differently, just revert if you don't like it. Thank you for quality work. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:58, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
