- Total characters in the hook, including spaces, is 218. Formatting requires 200 max. Otherwise Length of article is correct, references good and in-line citations all OK. Zakhx150 (talk) 12:02, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

Hook has been shortened. Note that it was not 218 (that count included formatting characters), it was 208. It is now 198. I also provided ALT1 which is a little shorter (189).

- Corrections made, all good to go with primary hook now.Zakhx150 (talk) 16:28, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
