 * Symbol question.svg These two articles are new enough and long enough. The hook facts have inline citations, the articles are neutral and I was unable to assess whether there were any copyright issues because of lack of access to the sources. QPQs have been done. There is a "citation needed" tag in the Battle of Khazir which needs to be dealt with. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:16, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
