Improved to Good Article status by Farang Rak Tham (talk). Nominated by Wikiman5676 (talk) at 06:18, 17 August 2018 (UTC).
Substantial GA, on excellent sources, foreign and offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. - Of the hooks, all sourced, I'd prefer the anti-smoking campaign (ALT2) because I think it's good for a broad readership, mentioning world health. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:58, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
Sounds good. Let's go with that unless the editor who got this to GA status, Farang Rak Tham, has any suggestions. Wikiman5676 (talk) 17:56, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
- I have added a few sources that need to be cited in order to cover the content fully, but I am okay with all the hooks. Go for it.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 07:44, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
