 * Symbol question.svg The article generally seems good and was an interesting read. However the first hook is not given a source in the article. The alternate hook is sourced to McCrery 2014, but this publication is not listed in the bibliography. The first hook comes across more "hooky" in my opinion. If the sourcing and bibliography are fixed, everything should be good to go. Brustopher (talk) 23:45, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. I've added a source for the first hook: also McCrery, which is now also in the bibliography. FunkyCanute (talk) 11:04, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
