  • Checks out, lots of possible hooks but unfortunately the "dress" picture is fair use. Arithmetic is a little off here (started at 8000, not 4000) but since the article ended up at more than 40,000 the 5x expansion standard is met well enough. Mangoe (talk) 19:45, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Oh cool :) many thanks Mangoe! I thought this was going to slip off the page before being reviewed. He's a fun figure, as you say lots of hooks, and I do wish that image wasn't fair use (it probably isn't, but I simply don't know who the author is). --Errant (chat!) 20:44, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
