16px exquisite expansion, offline sources accepted AGF. I recommend to drop the "50 kg" from the the hook, it's not in the quote, and makes the hook less quirky, - please add the ref right after the line, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:31, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Gerda. I agree about the 50 kg. In the article, the ref was right after the relevant info, but I had put the " (50 kg)" at the end, and that part didn't have a ref. It looked awkward both that way and the way I had it in the hook, so I've changed it; now the metric conversion is in a footnote. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 20:53, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

16px fine! The pic is free, and in this case almost essential, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:43, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
