This should be GTG. The article was new enough when nominated (7 days) and is certainly long enough. It is within policy; it is neutrally written, free of any copyvios that I can find. It is definitely sourced thoroughly enough. I have checked the sources I have access to; AGF on the others. The images are both acceptable (ie free use), although I am leaning towards the one on the left; anyhow, promoter's decision. The QPQ is complete. The hook is neutral, cited inline (multiple refs) and short enough. My only suggestion is the following; the hook is <200 characters, but still a trifle clunky. Might I propose ALT1 below (with the appropriate picture), for which no new review would be needed, as it merely omits the (IMO) most confusing fact from the original. Promoter's call; the original is not in violation of any guideline. Vanamonde93 (talk) 01:30, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
