Improved to Good Article status by The Rambling Man (talk). Nominated by Bloom6132 (talk) at 18:27, 9 November 2014 (UTC).

Article long enough, listed as GA within required timeframe, and fully referenced; hook short enough, interesting enough, and cited to online source. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 13:01, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
