• Date, size, hook are fine. My concern is length, at 257 words it barely passes, and this is counting the lead which repeats some facts from the body. Would it be possible to expand it so it passes without the repetition in lead counting towards it? One-two sentences would do it. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:58, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

• Done. —Bloom6132 (talk) 12:25, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

• I wish it was longer and had a pic, but it is start class, and passes DYK reqs as it is. Thanks! --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 00:26, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
