Improved to Good Article status by Serial Number 54129 (talk). Self-nominated at 19:57, 24 December 2018 (UTC).
- New (promoted GA); length OK, meets guidelines for neutrality, and afai can see paraphrasing.
- Hook length and content OK, supported by citation. Main hook is fine tho' as nominator says, many others could be provided. ALT1 seems a bit clunkier, so i'd go for the original.
- QPQ undertaken
good to go!--Smerus (talk) 12:17, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
