• This article is new enough and long enough. Striking ALT1 because that hook fact has no inline citation, but the other two hooks are acceptable and accepted in good faith, the sources being offline. The article is neutral. Googling several sentences/phrases brought up no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:51, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
