• Although I think this is a nice cleanup and addition of references, the previous version of July 4, 2012 has a prosesize.js=5251 and the latest version is prosesize.js=4947. Since this is not a new article, the prose portion needed to be expanded fivefold in order to be considered for DYK. Also, it's my understanding that direct external links are deprecated; perhaps move the "orphan-report.pdf" to a "Further Reading" section at the bottom of the page.
