Articles are long enough and don't get any hits on the copyvio detector that aren't properly quoted/cited material. I prefer the wording of ALT1, but I am not 100% sure that the citation fully supports the claim that is made. It's probably true, of course, but it seems more inferred from the content of the page then directly stated. Citations for the main hook and ALT2 are fine.
