I will review this article. Comments in a moment. Montanabw^(talk) 19:45, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Article is new enough and long enough, hook sourced, no apparent copyvios,

The hook is sourced to the statement " The librarian term for a web site that continually updates it content is what we call an integrating resource." The sentence in the article doesn't quite make this clear, though I am understanding of the editor's desire to avoid a close paraphrase, I think the point isn't that American Diplomayc is an "integrating resource," the point seems to be that any publication that continually updates is an "integrating resource." And, to that end, the hook isn't particularly interesting on this point. I would suggest clarifying the phrasing in the article, and, though the hook is acceptable, it's a bit dull and I'd like the editor to consider finding a different but interesting fact about a peer-reviewed publication that can give us an ALT hook that is a bit peppier.

Thanks for reviewing. I did clarify the issue in the phrasing just now, so that should help. You are right that the hook is a bit dull, heh, it is hard to find anything that is not dull without resorting to something in one of its articles, which may ultimately be the thing to do. I will look further, but in the meantime, what about ALT1? — Sctechlaw (talk) 20:18, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

I like ALT1 much better. I'm letting madman bot run a copyvio check, and once that clears, I'll most likely approve the hook. Stay tuned. Montanabw^(talk) 00:48, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Ah, the bot is slow, nothing jumped out at me, I think all is well here, so I am going to approve with ALT1 hook. Good to go! Montanabw^(talk) 03:28, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
