Improved to Good Article status by Kew Gardens 613 (talk). Nominated by Epicgenius (talk) at 03:38, 9 November 2017 (UTC).
Article is newly promoted, long enough, and meets policy on neutrality, sourcing, and plagiarism. Hooks are interesting, cited inline to good references, and short. I prefer the original hook, as it is more attention-grabbing. Just waiting on the QPQ. SounderBruce 03:47, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
