  • Comment: The article was moved to mainspace on November 6 so it should meet the requirement as of today. I've got 3 DYK credits so far, thus a QPQ is not needed, but of course welcomed. By the way, I'm not sure whether providing citation for the coordinates is mandatory - if so, I'll consider looking for one or simply deleting them. Thank you!
