5x expanded by Orlady (talk), Cmsthree (talk). Nominated by Orlady (talk) at 06:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC).
This article is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The original and ALT1 hooks are supported by inline citations and I have struck ALT2 as being less interesting. I was planning to remove the DYKmake credit for Cmsthree as that editor's name does not appear in the edit history, but on looking at the talk page, I see that in fact that editor was much involved in the expansion.
