  • This is a comprehensive and well written article that utilizes proper sources and internal citations, and it's long enough and new enough for inclusion in DYK. The first hook works well, and the user will be able to ascertain what "wrong" side means once they've clicked on the link in the hook. The image also meets DYK guidelines and the QPQ has been completed. -- Caponer (talk) 21:38, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
