5x expanded by Ergo Sum (talk). Self-nominated at 03:24, 31 October 2018 (UTC).

  • This article is a fivefold expansion and is long enough and new enough. The hook is interesting, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no policy issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:23, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
    • @Cwmhiraeth: I have just added an image to this nomination. For the purposes of formality, would you mind verifying that the image meets the DYK criteria and restoring the 'passed' tick? Ergo Sum 18:45, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
  • The image is in the public domain and is used in the article, so I am giving it a formal tick of approval. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:52, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
