Improved to Good Article status by Ykraps (talk). Self-nominated at 05:20, 3 April 2019 (UTC).
Hi Ykraps, review follows: article promoted to GA status on 2 April; article exceeds minimum length and is well written; article is cited inline throughout to reliable sources; a spot check on accessible sources showed no evidence of overly close paraphrasing (though a lot of them are PD anyway); both hooks are interesting, mentioned in the article and check out to the source (which is accessible); a QPQ has been carried out - Dumelow (talk) 11:01, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
