  • @Espresso Addict: This well-written article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts have an inline citation to a book source and are accepted in good faith. Any of the hooks could be used. The image is appropriately licensed but looks better enlarged than it does at thumbnail size. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues, so we are just waiting for the QPQ to be done.
