Improved to Good Article status by Cwmhiraeth (talk), Anaxial (talk). Nominated by Oceanh (talk) at 20:03, 5 October 2014 (UTC).

  • Article was promoted to GA on Oct 2. Long enough, properly cited and no close paraphrasing issues. I'll go for ALT1: short, interesting, and cited in the article. No need for QPQ since it is not a self nomination. --Carlojoseph14 (talk) 14:33, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
