- 16px Fine work, date and expansion check out, the article is comprehensive, well written and well referenced, no apparent copyright violations, hooks are referenced, image appropriately licensed, QPQ done. I have no strong preference for a hook, although ALT3 seems a bit more catchy. Constantine ✍ 18:31, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
