Improved to Good Article status by Ykraps (talk). Self nominated at 09:45, 13 December 2014 (UTC).
- Article is a recent GA, is long enough, neutral, and passes my copyvio checks of the sources that I can access. Initial hook cited to an offline source, ALT1 cited, ALT2 cited, ALT3 cited. I'm not a big fan of ALT2, but will leave that up to the reviewer. QPQ done. GTG. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 16:09, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
