5x expanded by Muboshgu (talk). Self-nominated at 00:23, 6 September 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Fivefold expansion on September 5 and 6 satisfies newness and length requirements. Article is sourced and appears policy compliant. Earwig check doesn't show problems. Hook is short enough, interesting enough, and supported by in-line citations. QPQ completed. Cbl62 (talk) 21:54, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
