 * Symbol confirmed.svg This quality article is new enough and long enough. Approving the original hook, which has an inline citation (I find ALT1 less interesting). The article is neutral and free from copyright issues as far as I can tell. I am unsure about the licensing of the image and it would probably be better not to use it. A QPQ has been done.
