My bad I didn't realized the length... I agree with your hook. Lajbi ^{Holla @ me • CP} 11:14, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Went from 595 characters to 5528 characters on date nominated - easily 5x expansion. Hook is cited to source. This good to go - thank for your expansion and submission to DYK - sorry for the delay in reviewing it.
