• 5x expansion, length, date, image and hook are fine. The hook citation is not at the end of the sentence to which it refers but that is because the hook refers to part of a quoted passage. I think this is acceptable. I could find no evidence of close paraphrasing. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:48, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
