new enough, long enough, generally within policy with regards to neutrality and citation. I did add a {{cn}} request for the poem in "Aftermath", please add it before main page appearance. The first hook is, I feel, the most interesting to a broad audience, appears and is cited in the article, and the source (available through Google Books) checks out. The image has the appropriate copyright tag. Earwig detected no violation. HaEr48 (talk) 07:27, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

I also added an ALT0b hook which is shorter than the original while conveying more or less the same info. What do you think? HaEr48 (talk) 17:17, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, I have added two citations to the poem in the Aftermath section to address the issue, and also think that the ALT0b hook is fine as well. TTTAssasinator (talk) 21:11, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

Good to go now. Thanks. HaEr48 (talk) 01:25, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
