Article new enough, long enough, and adequately cited. Hook short enough, interesting enough, and also cited. Article appears to be neutral and free of copyright violations and plagiarism. Cheers!♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 10:23, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Which mark? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 04:14, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Good point. I've added a clarifying link to the hook. NinaGreen (talk) 16:54, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Its still not clarifying enough. Mark was a currency used in various countries. Estonian mark, Polish marka, Deutsche Mark, and more. Plus the subject was in England and was mark any kind of currency used there too? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 17:33, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

If you click on the link, it defines it (i.e. in England the mark was a unit of currency, but never appeared as a coin). NinaGreen (talk) 18:29, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Passing per Doc's review if this is the best we can clarify. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 04:34, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
