• - Information in the hook is sourced with a PDF, ref 3 - searching the document the information is found on the third page. Fully checks out and hook is great. It is new enough (created today) and no signs of close copying. This is good to go.Rain the 1 00:56, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

• My only gripe is the implied use of coercion – that "he was forced to drug his guards...". Would it be less interesting if we simply said "he drugged his guards..."? -- Ohc ^¡digame! 01:56, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

• Good suggestion. I've changed the hook accordingly. – Michaelmas1957 (talk) 04:57, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
