Article is new enough and long enough. Photo is appropriately licensed. Hook is too long at 220 characters (not including the parenthetical). Needs to be under 200 characters. Other review elements pending. Cbl62 (talk) 21:59, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
- How about this is an alt hook at 158 characters: ... that Manson family disciple Squeaky Fromme attempted an assassination on President Gerald Ford as he walked from the Senator Hotel (pictured) in Sacramento, California? Cbl62 (talk) 22:03, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
- With Cbl62's help, I added an ALT1 hook and struck the first hook since it was too long. For ALT1, I get 170 characters, including the parenthetical. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 05:52, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
