 * Symbol voting keep.svg, lets see: More than enough characters, new enough, neutral, ect. All of the sources are from books, so I’m assuming good faith. Onto the hook, less than 200 characters, interesting, cited inline and neutral. Altogether, no major errors and this hook is good to go. Just a suggestion, but I would change the wording from “in the very last” to “during the final”. Your hook is still valid either way, but you will almost certainly get more clicks if you make the hook sound a little more dramatic. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 00:03, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
