5x expansion is recent enough and long enough. NPOV, Well-cited, including the good hook. I've trimmed one word - "two" before "stars". All online sources checked and no close paraphrasing or copyvios found. My only concern is whether a flag is suitably licensed for the front page. Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction!

It is public domain, as per the licence on
its page. The flags of
the Gambia and
Uzbekistan have also recently been featured. I know, the new layout isn't great, as it doesn't allow you to go directly to the image page. —

Thanks. The new layout might look nice for our readers, but it is a pain for editors! Anyway, I don't like to make assumptions when reviewing, so thought it best to check that flags are okay (sometimes you can spend ages trying to track down the relevant bit of policy). Good to go.
