I read this earlier while I had some free time, so don't think this is a quick review! Content wise, could you please add and tweak some of the examples with this new source: Engaging Ancient Maya Sculpture at Piedras Negras, Guatemala by Megan E. O'Neil work? It seems to be a pretty good balance and explains with a little more delicately the unknowns and the known of Xook's mysterious history. Death and the Classic Maya King by James L. Fitzsimmons mentions that the reign may have been a comparatively weak one on page 154. Translating Maya Hieroglyphs By Scott A. J. Johnson gives an additional transliteration detail for the name. Though a "A Brief History of Piedras Negras.." confirms with a source that the artifact does explicitly link Ruler 6 to being the son of Ruler 4. Please look these over and let me know if there are any problems with these sources, I think that this content matter is not truly keeping it from GA, but it is best to clarify and note the additional details and speculations until more discoveries emerge.

 * Sounds good! I will work on this tomorrow, and hopefully get it up to shape.-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   05:59, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Here are the changes I've made. That new book by O'Neil is super awesome and helpful. (it's great that they've finally cracked the names for two of the other rulers!)-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   18:04, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
 * GA passed. Congratulations. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:37, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
