- Without reviewing the article, I wish to point out that the first part of the hook may indeed be true,
but it is not supported by the new article- naturally so, because it would also be of marginal relevance. That's the second problem with the hook: it itself is about something that's not really relevant to the topic of the article. Dahn (talk) 20:50, 6 May 2012 (UTC) - It is supported, upon a second look. My other objections stand, but are not vital. Dahn (talk) 20:52, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
- Hooks aren't generally expected to sum up the article. When it comes to articles about mathematics, the lay reader probably wouldn't be able to understand the hook, if it does sum up the article.--Carabinieri (talk) 14:11, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
A very interesting article and hook, especially because the person involved. Good to go! ASTRONOMYINERTIA (TALK) 17:10, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
