Article meets core policies and guidelines of the DYK criteria, long enough, neutral, cites sources with inline citations and appears to be free of copyright violations and plagiarism. Hook fact is accurate and cited with an inline citation in the article. Article should be ready for displaying on the main page, well done!♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 15:52, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
