Overall:

The article could use more proof-reading, e.g. there was a typo of "Brooklin". I also had to do quite a bit of reformatting of the nomination and took the liberty of adding a picture, as we have one. I've reviewed the first hook, which seems the best. The source doesn't exactly say that but it's a reasonable way of putting it, I reckon. A QPQ doesn't seem needed but the nominator will have to start thinking about that soon. Note that I started a page on the BMG movement myself and so it's interesting to see more about this.
