5× expansion of 21 April 2021 version completed from 107 characters to 4,970 and nominated on the same day. No copyvios detected (high confidence of violation due to place names) and duplication detector check of online sources[1][2][3] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF books which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Main hook is 138 characters long (ALT1 is 89); both are under the 200 character max. limit and are interesting. Ref 2 (verifying the hook and ALT1) is a reliable source (AGF as there is no preview available). QPQ done. Image is free and under Creative Commons license.
