Outstanding article! The writing and sourcing are excellent, and the choice of images is very good too. It's new enough and more than long enough. We really should find an image to go along with this - if any article deserves to be at the top of a batch it's this one. Prioryman (talk) 12:17, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
