Improved to Good Article status by Coffee (talk). Self-nominated at 12:42, 5 April 2018 (UTC).

-Article is new enough (reached Good Article status on 4 April 2018); easily long enough; is neutral, well cited, and with no copyright or paraphrasing issues (except the usual proper nouns, titles, quotes etc.); Hook is just within character limit (193 chars), accurate, sourced, and interesting; ~~only thing standing in the way of promotion is, I think, QPQ still required?~~ QPQ done; No image issues, ~~as there isn't one; but, why not use his portrait? Nice article, and his physog deserves to be on the front page~~ it's free, in use, and looks fine at thumbnail size.

Thank you Coffee; let's roll. —SerialNumber54129^{paranoia /cheap shit room} 13:01, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

- I fixed the image issue, I meant to add it but entirely spaced on that apparently. As far as the QPQ, I did at least 20 reviews from February till a little over a month ago while nominating only a couple myself, so I guess I'd pick Template:Did you know nominations/Susan Goldberg to get this one the go ahead.
