• This article is new enough and long enough. I have removed the word "Vikings" from the hook as, though they are mentioned in the article lead (unreferenced), they are not mentioned in the body of the article. I am also editing the article to remove this uncited claim (the author of the article has been blocked indefinitely). Otherwise, the hook fact is well referenced.Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:34, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
