New enough in mainspace. Certainly long enough & seems neutral. I gave up trying to find hook refs in the very long article - ALT1 is in the lead but not refed there. AGF on offline sources quoted here, I'm sure they're in there somewhere. Personally I prefer ALT1 & 2, in that order. Both pics seem ok to use, with AGF on General Motors or whoever it was not renewing copyright. Earwig says: "Violation Unlikely, 6.5% confidence". GA ready, GTG.
