Article is new enough; sources are off-line, but appear to be appropriate and adequate; however, character-count is on the margin. Article only has 1,365 text characters, but there are 1,618 characters if spaces are counted. While it depends on how 1,500 character rule is interpreted, spaces probably should be counted so I’m giving article a pass. Regarding the hook…it is less than 200 charterers and properly formatted.

I've made some further expansions to the article. According to DYK check, it's currently at 2262 characters. Size should no longer be a problem.--SGCM (talk) 00:22, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
