Article seems fine, but a source for the hook is not given in the nomination. Could you add the sources please? ISD (talk) 10:36, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
- The hook and article meet the requirements, but the hook is lacking a source. Should get the greenlight once a source is added. Best wishes! Soulbust (talk) 17:33, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
- Hi all - the source(s) are in the section "legacy" in the first sentence, but I've also copied here.[1][2] Chetsford (talk) 08:44, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
Full review: New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Hook is interesting, though I snipped a few words because "living" and "death" seemed jarring, and also put in a new link. Hook ref verified and cited inline. All images are freely licensed. QPQ done. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 10:33, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
