  • Symbol question.svg Article is newly promoted, long enough, and meets policy on neutrality, sourcing, and plagiarism. Hooks are interesting, cited inline to good references, and short. I prefer the original hook, as it is more attention-grabbing. Just waiting on the QPQ. SounderBruce 03:47, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
