It's long enough, new enough, no copyvio, hook is verified, images are properly licensed. If anything, this is a bit too long--much of it is more general than this topic might warrant, but hey. And if you're ever going for a GA, I'd move material out of the lead, cause that's a bit top-heavy. So I'll tick this off, Elias Ziade -- as soon as you do the QPQ.
