• Hook fact is footnoted, and hook sources are online, verifiable and appear to be reliable. Hook short enough (187 characters). Article new enough (September 13) and long enough (2026 characters). Refs in proper format. No concerns with reliability of sources. No neutrality or BLP concerns. A bit heavy on quotes, but random googling of various sentences indicated no concerns related to copyright violations, close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article. Good to go. --PFHLai (talk) 09:41, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
