- Comment: Article was first created in February 2008. It was a total of 81 characters long in December 2014. As of completion of expansion on 25 May, the article was expanded to 1728 characters in length. Therefore it was expanded 21 1/3 times from its December 2014 length. At more than 200 characters greater than the 1,500 minimum character prose, it is long enough. The hooks are cited to the following references (1, 2, 3, 4). Each sentence outside of the lead section, is verified to a reliable source, and no content is about a living person (as this article is not a biography). The hooks are formatted properly, and each under 200 characters.
5x expanded by RightCowLeftCoast (talk). Self-nominated at 00:27, 28 May 2015 (UTC).
I agree with RightCowLeftCoast's self-review. The article is a sufficient expansion and is nominated in a timely fashion. Going with ALT2 as the best hook, the article is neutral and I found no close-paraphrasing. The image is appropriately licensed and would look good on the main page.
