  • Passed as GA on January 6. Article is well sourced, of course, appearing to deserve GA status. Hook fact is present with an inline citation at the end of the sentence. Main hook and Alt1 are just different ways of phrasing the same factoid, no preference from me. QPQ is done. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:45, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
