Comment: ~~QPQ pending.~~ I may be slow to responses because this week is finals week at my college. (Also, hence why I didn't nominate a new or 5x expanded article instead.)

Improved to Good Article status by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 02:30, 16 December 2019 (UTC).

This article is a newly promoted GA and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and any of the hooks could be used. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. The image is in the public domain. A QPQ is needed. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:45, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the review Cwmhiraeth. It appears that I have forgotten to remove "QPQ pending" when I did do the QPQ. epicgenius (talk) 02:09, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, and I didn't notice that you had in fact done the QPQ. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:03, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
