Improved to Good Article status by Jakec (talk). Self nominated at 23:39, 30 August 2014 (UTC).

Recently promoted to GA. Article is neutral and I detected no copyvio. Both hooks OK with citation at end of relevant sentences.

I prefer the original hook. This should be confirmed by an online source, but I was unable to open it; but in any case AGF.

ALT1 confirmed by online citation.

Note to whoever promotes the article: can this picture be added to the hook please? --Jakob (talk) 15:32, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Agree. It was taken by the nominator and is free to use. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 15:49, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

The citation for the original hook fact is a dead link. Yoninah (talk) 21:50, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

@Yoninah: Fixed. If you still want to verify, look on the first page of the source given. --Jakob (talk) 23:18, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

That's better, thanks. Original hook fact verified and cited inline. Yoninah (talk) 20:13, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
