 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough, well cited throughout, neutrally written, copyvio check finds none, hook is interesting and cited from two online contemporary sources. I am approving the original hook and also a shorter Alt1. Whoever moves this on can choose which to use, but Ealdgyth may have a preference? Moonraker (talk) 05:02, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
