• Two problems: a) one point of fact unreferenced[1]; one ref which does not support stated facts[2]; Otherwise AGF on offline sources; b) Hook a little long (180 characters), shorter would be better.

  Well-written, long enough: prose size 6337 B
  Within policy: neutral, free of close paraphrasing, copyvio and plagiarism

• Both should be adequately referenced now, if I understand what you meant. --Coemgenus (talk) 15:44, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

• Thanks, Coemgenus. The sources cited are offline, but naturally I AGF that they have been used accurately. So we're good to go. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:01, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

• Referencing problems resolved, so we're good to go with AGF on offline sources. Others may wish to suggest a shorter hook. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:02, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

• Thanks. I added an alt hook, but it's nearly as long. I'm open to suggestions. --Coemgenus (talk) 18:21, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
