Not a new article but there has been a considerable expansion on 8 September from 2,875 bytes (full wiki) to 14,190 and it is thus okay for length now as RPS=4,058 bytes (665 words). Well sourced, no POV and ALT0 is the preferred hook. ALT1 is okay but needs to be reduced in length by removing the ALT0 reiteration. No Great Shaker (talk) 21:24, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
