 * Symbol confirmed.svg Date, length and hook all OK. I'm not too sure the pics adequately suit the hook but I'll let the promoter decide. QPQ done. Good to go.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 16:58, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Symbol voting keep.svg That picture is better and I have no problem with it.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 17:55, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
