5x expanded by Espresso Addict (talk). Self-nominated at 18:11, 19 October 2016 (UTC).

  • New enough (5x now, expansion began 34 edits ago on 15 October 2016), long enough (7,187 characters "readable prose size"), fully referenced. Hook fine, verified against online sources. QPQ done. Image on Commons with appropriate licence, looks good. Good to go. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:55, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
