Improved to Good Article status by Gonzo fan2007 (talk). Self-nominated at 16:15, 3 July 2019 (UTC).
Article was promoted to GA-status, and was nominated for DYK on due time. It is long enough and neutral. It cites sources inline. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" reports 28,6% text similarity with source [1], however, no copyvio issue was detected. The hook is well-formatted and interesting. Hook's length exceeds the limit of 200 characters. A shortened ALT hook is needed. Hook fact is sourced inline. QPQ was done. I will approve after the hook length issue is addressed.

- CeeGee, see ALT1 above, 201 characters per my count. I think this falls within the "fewer than about 200 characters" rule. Let me know if it works for you. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 15:46, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
ALT1 is now just 200 characters long. It is fine. Good to go. CeeGee 07:26, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
