• New, long, neutral and well-cited; no plagiarism detected. Hooks are accurate, neutral, and interesting, as well as verified by the citation(s). Personally, I prefer the original hook. Image is PD, QPQ appears to be in order. Lead should perhaps be longer, with a more complex summary of the text; but this is not a major setback. Dahn (talk) 07:36, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
