• Comment: I'd definitely suggest the first alternate proposal, as the initial proposal doesn't take into account the non-"canonicity" of the other two actors. -- Alex^TW

• Expanded by ~6.2x recently enough, long enough, is neutral, well cited, no copyvio evident. I agree with AlexTW above that ALT1 is the best hook. I've fixed formatting issues, and it's interesting, accurate, and neutral. However, a QPQ is necessary, and there's a pretty big backlog.

• @Hameltion: this appears to be the nominator's first DYK nomination, so no QPQ is required. Yoninah (talk) 06:34, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

• My bad. I was trying to review a few nominations, and I overlooked that. --Hameltion (talk, contribs) 12:48, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
