- There is no pic to approve and lots of refs in this article which is of sufficient length. Hook is sourced to reliable source and is interesting, but is a bit wordy (see below). Useful article on inmportant subject. Sadly the area of Siberia where "he" was found has not got an article. Is this an opportunity? Thanks for this Victuallers (talk) 18:50, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
