5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 13:27, 14 May 2020 (UTC).
Article is long enough (16127 characters), and a 5x expansion began on 13 May. I don't like ALT2, which is missing context. The original hook is most interesting, but both the original and ALT1 are suitably referenced, and interesting. Spotchecks reveal no copyvio etc. Good to go. Harrias talk 10:01, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
