5x expanded by Mostafa.kmahmoud (talk). Self-nominated at 18:04, 10 May 2016 (UTC).

  • 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, well referenced, neutrally written, no close paraphrasing seen. ALT2 is the best hook IMO; hook ref verified and cited inline. Image is freely licensed. No QPQ needed for first time nominator. ALT2 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 22:33, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
