It has been a while since this article was reviewed, so I took a look and noticed that it is quite long, at over 11,000 words, while the reviewed version was just under 7,000. I think prose in the "History" section can be spun out and summarised more effectively, with several one-sentence paragraphs merged together or removed. Should this article go to WP:GAR?
