  • Hi Ykraps, review follows: article moved to mainspace 16 February; article is of good length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable (largely offline) sources; no overly close paraphrasing from the online sources, AGF this is the case for the offline sources; hook is interesting and mentioned in the article, cited to an offline source - AGF that this backs it up; image is freely and appropriately licensed (from a 1900 book); a QPQ has been completed. Looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 15:16, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
