Improved to Good Article status by L293D (talk). Self-nominated at 20:27, 14 February 2020 (UTC).

  • Approve ALT1 This Good Article was promoted recently enough, is definitely more than long enough (not sure if a GA can even be below that limit), and it reads neutrally. Both hooks are below the limit in terms of length, so that's good, and I find them to be an interesting enough fact about the topic. The QPQ has been done and the image proposed is public domain, used in the article, and looks fine at this size requirement. Everything looks good to go. SilverserenC 22:03, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
