Improved to Good Article status by Mujinga (talk). Self-nominated at 15:55, 4 December 2020 (UTC).
Article is long enough (17134 characters), is a GA, nominated in time (became GA on 29 November, nominated 4 December), and article is within policy- Both hooks are short enough, interesting, in the article, and well cited. Both hooks are also neutral point of view, which is especially important for ALT0 which deals with a controversial subject area
- QPQ done
