Improved to Good Article status by MWright96 (talk). Nominated by SSSB (talk) at 15:24, 8 September 2021 (UTC).
The article was promoted to good article status on the day of the nomination. It is also long enough, has no copyvio issues, cites sources throughout, and presents the subject in a neutral fashion. Both hooks are short enough but I much prefer ALT0 for reasons of brevity and accessibility. ALT0's fact is in the article and backed up by an inline citation. I'm striking ALT1 only as a sign of endorsement for ALT0. No QPQ required per Mandarax. German-langauge source AGF. Good to go. Modussiccandi (talk) 14:31, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
