 * Symbol question.svg Article is very well written; length, date, and compliance with policy all check out. I would, however suggest a slightly different version of the hook for clarity and directness:
 * ALT2: ... that critics complained that a bronze statue (pictured) of the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal standing in San Francisco's Civic Center more closely resembled the Sumerian king Gilgamesh?
 * Let me know if that is OK by you. --ThaddeusB (talk) 04:05, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Sure. Your version reads smoother than my original hook. Thanks, ThaddeusB. --PFHLai (talk) 07:01, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Hook fact has been verified by provided inline citation. ALT2 wording is preferred (but not materially different than original hook, so shouldn't require a 3rd party review). --ThaddeusB (talk) 06:01, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
