Review New article. ~~Somewhat belatedly nominated (I'm not 100% on the date when this was promoted to the encyclopedia), but close enough.~~ I've been told it was promoted July 3, which makes it easily timely. Easily long enough. All three hooks are cited. Did not have access to the books, but WP:AGF. Nominator has fewer than five DYKs, so no WP: QPQ required. Article is neutral and well-researched. All paragraphs are cited. No copy vio or close paraphrasing. Earwig gives it a zero. I think the hooks are all interesting. (Y.M.M.V.). Nicely done! 7&6=thirteen (☎) 09:45, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
