 * Excellent work, created new (moved from sandbox) on 30 July. Sources are great, though some must be accepted on good faith. Can I request that we use a more specific hook? Not even sure if a single source supports the "major role" claim—and furthermore there are many more interesting facts that might serve. groupuscule (talk) 02:46, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I've provided an alternative hook & would be interested to know your thoughts. Brigade Piron (talk) 16:43, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go with the new hook. Sources mostly from books, but the claim can be verified in this 2009 Washington Post article. (Perhaps also an interesting source of information for the article itself). Shalom, groupuscule (talk) 21:38, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
