• Comment: This article has been under construction in my sandbox for over a year, but was published as an article in English Wikipedia on July 4. The hook is a little long (190), but with the wide array of content in the article, I'm open to other editors' suggestions.

• Very nice article. Clearly long enough and new enough, well-referenced to good-quality sources. Hook is fine and sourced in the article. This one's good to go. Prioryman (talk) 19:30, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
