  • This article is a fivefold (more likely hundredfold) exansion and is new enough and long enough. Both hooks are interesting and cited inline, the image is in the public domain and the article is neutral. I did not have access to the sources so could not check for policy issues but Earwig did not bring up any concerns. Good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:53, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
