• Article was expanded on March 26 2012 more than five times, is quite long enough, and is within policy. The hook is accurate, cited, and neutral. The editor has done many DYK articles and satisfies QPQ. The image is from the government and thus free; it is used in the article and shows up nicely at the small size.

Good to go. GroveGuy (talk) 16:52, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
