Meets the length and recent creation requirements. I prefer the first hook, which is mentioned in the abstract of the reference and asserts the fact better. My only concern is that the paragraph which mentions the first hook has several grammatical errors and may need a bit of a re-write for tone and grammar. --Canley (talk) 23:38, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
