  • Article was promoted to GA on 13 July (so within one week of nomination).
  • It is certainly long enough, is well-written, neutral, and supported by numerous citations to reliable sources.
  • It is free of any copyvio I can detect.
  • The hook is a good length and is interesting. I can't see the source itself, but I was able to look at the introduction on Jstor and it checks out.
• Overall: good to go. Girth Summit _(blether) 13:37, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
