  • Article was promoted to GA status within the last seven days, is over the required length and has no copyvio concerns. Both hooks are interesting (can't beat a good old fashioned head on a pole story!) and supported by inline citations, AGF on the offline sources. User has submitted a QPQ review to meet the requirement, good to go. Kosack (talk) 05:37, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
