Created by Chhandama (talk). Self nominated at 13:49, 9 November 2014 (UTC).
Article is new enough, long enough, and is free from copyvio. Each paragraph is appropriately sourced in the article, and the references appear to be reliable.
The hook seems incredibly dull, even by my standards. Perhaps you could recommend another hook? Thine Antique Pen (talk) 23:02, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
- Here it is. The main thing is that the interesting fact lies in the wordplays, such as the sounds "jelly bean", "jelly belly", and so on. Chhandama (talk) 02:54, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
- I like the sound of Alt 1. My only niggly concern is the BBC link - it links to an old version of h2g2, which used to be affliated. I'd replace it with this updated entry. Fuebaey (talk) 03:32, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the suggestion. I have cited the referred source. Chhandama (talk) 02:37, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
- I'd be willing to accept this unless Thine Antique Pen wants credit (or someone has a problem with the suggested link above). New article, nominated in time, long enough, within policy and QPQ done. Both hooks are fine but I prefer Alt 1. Fuebaey (talk) 07:18, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
