• The hook is too long — I count 220 characters (maximum is 200). —Offenbach (talk) 06:07, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

• I rewrote the hook, it's within the characters limit now. It's also more interesting. --Al Ameer son (talk) 06:13, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

• OK, hook and article meet eligibility criteria. Offline source accepted in good faith. —Offenbach (talk) 06:53, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
