• The article's length and date are fine and it's well-sourced. I've compared various sections of the text against Google Translate's versions of the source text and have found no obvious plagiarism/copyvio problems. I've struck out the original hook as it isn't explicitly mentioned in the article except as an internal link (it was my least favourite anyway). The other three alt hooks are short enough and interesting, and cited in the article. I would personally rank them in their current order, 1,2,3. Mikenorton (talk) 14:22, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
