This is a really interesting article. Hook is sourced to a very strong RS. It's definitely long enough. But is it expanded enough? I'm not seeing a 5x expansion. Please help prove to me that the prose is 5x expanded so we're good to go. Étienne Dolet (talk) 06:34, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, EtienneDolet. I've added more than 1,000 characters to the article, which should be enough; by my count it was 722 short. --Usernameunique (talk) 18:15, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
Okay, so AGF since the reference is offline. The hook is sourced. Expanded enough. Long enough. We're GTG! Great article!!! Étienne Dolet (talk) 20:03, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
