Length, citations, within policy, and neutrality are all alright. Only one suggestion for a hook improvement is to tie some info about the article into it. I made a suggestion and change, this should be exactly 200 characters. Also put in (pictured) to indicate the picture of Hillary Clinton. If this is alright to the nominator, it should be passed Kayz911 (talk) 18:42, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
