This ticks all the boxes and easily complies with GA standard. If there is an intention to try for FA in future, I think this is heading in the right direction and would have a good chance subject to meeting the more stringent FA criteria. As far as GA is concerned, however, no problems at all. I'm happy to promote it. Well done. No Great Shaker (talk) 14:36, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
