Hello, Morgan695, I see you're still doing quite a lot of work on the article so I'll set this review aside for the time being. I'll continue when you're ready but there's no rush so take your time. I picked up the review as part of the GAN backlog drive and there's still about 250 others to be done. All the best. No Great Shaker (talk) 10:41, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

No Great Shaker: Hi, thanks for taking up this review. I was just swapping out sources for higher quality ones after a page the article referenced was flagged as being potentially unreliable a few months ago on the article talk page, and moving some content around so the article flows better. It should be ready for review now. Morgan695 (talk) 15:36, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello again, Morgan695, and sorry for not being available in the last few days. It's surprising how much there is to do even when we're in lockdown and isolated. Anyway, I've reviewed the article and, as you can see, it has ticked all of the boxes above. I'm therefore pleased to promote it to GA. You've put a lot of effort into it and it is an interesting, well-written article. I think the controversy section is a particularly good idea. Well done and all the best.
