Improved to Good Article status by SounderBruce (talk). Self-nominated at 02:55, 27 October 2019 (UTC).

Article was promoted to GA status on time, and the article meets other DYK requirements. No close paraphrasing was found, and both hooks are cited inline and verified. ALT0 is not a very obvious hook (i.e. it might take some time to get it) and ALT1 sounds more quirky so I think it might be a better idea to go with that; I've made a minor change to ALT1 in that I removed one comma since it didn't seem to be necessary. A QPQ has been done. Good to go. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 01:14, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Added a clearer version of ALT0. The commas are part of MOS:GEOCOMMA. Sounder Bruce 01:59, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
