The hook needs formatting and citations for verification. The article requires more trusted web citations and inline citations. Ṫ Ḧ the joy of the LORDmy strength 13:44, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
- I'm wondering what you mean by more citation for the article? It already contains 20 citations, mostly to peer-reviewed sources, all of which are available through the web. (For a few cases where the journal is behind a pay wall, then the arXiv version of the article can be accessed via the article's "bibcode" link provided by the wikipedia "cite journal" reference format.)

- Certainly good. But few web-cites will be appreciated..Ṫ Ḧ the joy of the LORDmy strength 16:02, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
- I've added a link to an online SOFIA press release. Nevertheless, for a scientific subjects like this the most reliable information is often from journal articles or books. For example, the wikipedia article "cystic fibrosis" mostly cites peer-reviewed works.
- For the present DYK hook, I've cited the Maury and Pirogov papers, which show the molecular core, which is a filament that is clearly bent around in a "shepherd's crook" shape. If you still don't like this one, I've come up with a few more...
- ALT1 ... that the most massive stars in the Westerhout 40 star-forming region are concentrated near the star cluster's center?
- The references for the above ALT1 hook are Shuping et al. (2012), for the stellar mass, and Kuhn et al. (2010), for the mass segregation.
- ALT2 ... that Westerhout 40 is one of the nearest sites O-star formation, but is obscured at visible wavelengths of light by clouds of interstellar dust?
- References for ALT2 are Kuhn et al. (2010) for "one of the nearest sites of O-star formation" and both Kuhn et al. (2010) and the SOFIA press release for "obscured by dust."
- ALT3 ... that Westerhout 40 contains a cluster of more than 500 new-born stars?
- References for ALT3 is Kuhn et al. (2015).
- ALT4 ... that the Westerhout 40 star forming region has been observed by NASA's SOFIA and Chandra X-ray Observatory facilities and ESA/NASA's Herschel Space Observatory?
- References are the SOFIA press release, Kuhn et al. (2010), and Andre et al. (2010).

The original hook is now cited and the length and all other look good. Good to go. Prefer alt 1 or original hook. Ṫ Ḧ the joy of the LORDmy strength 03:01, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
