Commment Hook wordings tweaked slightly. Edwardx (talk) 14:03, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

The main hook and Alt2 are fine. Alt1 isn't supported, and has been struck. As for the formal review: the article is new enough (Nov 10), large enough (2100), neutral, cites sources, doesn't appear to have copyvios ([1]), the hooks that aren't struck are short and cited, and there's no image. I know that the QPQ is done because I moved that hook to prep myself. This is good to go. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 02:08, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
