• Full review needed; striking original hook as it is over the maximum 200 characters. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:58, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

• GA pass within acceptable time frame. Reads neutrally. Direct quotes throwing up false positives on earwig's copyvio checker (so ok), ALT1 easily more interesting hook. It is sourced and backed up by at two references. Good to go. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 10:48, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
