Expansion of more than 5X on Aug. 12 has been confirmed. Hook is short enough (barely) and interesting enough. Hook is properl sourced. QPQ has been completed. Photo has a public domain license on Wikimedia Commons. Article appears, based on spot-checking, to be compliant with core policies including copyvio and plagiarism.
