Photo Request[edit]

I added the photo request tag because I feel that the aerial photo is not sufficient. Rhvanwinkle (talk) 18:50, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 14:59, 23 August 2021 (UTC).[reply]

The article was recently expanded within the amounts needed for DYK and is within policy. All of the hooks are formatted well, are accurate, and likely to be interesting to a broad audience. I can't see the 1988 NYT reference due to a paywall, so I'll AGF. QPQ is done. No image has been provided as of yet. This should be good to go. ❯❯❯ Mccunicano ☕️ 15:11, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
