QPQ: Done.

Overall: Page exceeds 5x expansion, performed within three days of nom. Sources look good, could use a bit more diversity but this is a Connecticut subject, not a national one. Earwig and a quick manual search don't find significant close paraphrasing. Awaiting QPQ and there are many articles out there to review. Sort of surprised we're stuck at this.
