Note: I've struck the original hook because, at 259 characters, it's way over the limit of 200. Feel free to trim it into an ALT of acceptable length. The length of ALT1 is fine (180 characters). MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 23:31, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

Review Good to go! Meets core policies and guidelines, and in particular: is neutral; cites sources with inline citations; is free of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism. DYK nomination was timely (article moved from author's user space — where it incubated for four months — to main space on 12/22 and nominated next day) and article is easily long enough. Every paragraph but one is cited, and I assume that will be corrected without delay. Hook references are verified and cited. No copyright violations or too close paraphrasing. ALT 1 hook is hooky enough, I think, and relates directly to the article's essence. Earwig copyvio detector says it's clean. QPQ confirmed. It is interesting, decently neutral, and appropriately cited. This is a rare and new breed of cattle, with unique attributes. I learned a lot. Nicely done! 7&6=thirteen (☎) 01:44, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
Review Every paragraph is now cited. Picture is a free image, used in article, so there is no copyright issue. Should be airborne as soon as we can get an admin to clear it for takeoff!. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 02:16, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
