• Hook fact is footnoted, and hook sources are online, verifiable and appear to be reliable. Hook short enough. Article new enough (moved to article space on July 17) and long enough (1837 characters). Refs in proper format. No concerns with reliability of sources. No neutrality or BLP concerns. Random googling of various sentences indicated no concerns related to copyright violations, close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article. Suggested pic came from WCommons and appears to be properly tagged, but I don't recommend putting short, stubby articles at the top of a hook set when there are more content-rich candidates to choose from. Good to go (without the pic). --PFHLai (talk) 06:07, 27 July 2012 (UTC) 21:07, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
