  • Fair point - didn't realise. Dan arndt (talk) 11:42, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
  • The hook facts do not appear in the article. Yoninah (talk) 20:59, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
  • Yoninah have added The Mary Sue reference to the lead. Have also proposed an alternative hook, which is easily sourced from the cited reference. Dan arndt (talk) 05:31, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
  • Thank you. Here is a full review: New enough, long enough, neutrally written, adequately referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. ALT1 hook refs verified and cited inline. QPQ done. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 18:49, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
