Apologies for that. I was trying to get it through before it was stale. I wonder what date it becomes too old to be included as a DyK. It seems worthy. (Today, as at 26th Sept, This one is dated 17th Sept and 17th is red on the
T:DYK/Q Queue list). So I suspect it is
stale and can't be promoted now. Just wondering.

It remains very eligible, AFAIK. Sorry, I got distracted by another project.--

Red means "attention required here!" rather than "stop and abort" so please review TonyTheTiger's new additions to the wikipage. Thanks. --

I've re-read it again, as requested, but the "underconstruction tag" is still there, so awaiting removal of that before promotion can get the go-ahead.

Sorry, I meant re-review when TonyTheTiger is done typing. It's still eligible for DYK. --

GOOD TO GO. Re-reviewed, checked press references. Tags have gone. To be a
GA it would need some balance with a criticism section, but not necessary for DYK. The article just escapes advert as it has refs for all the hyperbole. Nice article, engaging hook. I can't promote it to a prep area myself because I did the original review.
