 * * Review Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go! New article, timely nominated. Meets core policies and guidelines, and in particular: is neutral; cites sources with inline citations; is free of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism.  DYK nomination was timely and article is easily long enough.  Every paragraph is cited.  In passing, I note that I had only limited access to those that are "subscription required" (for "newspapers.com").  As to those I WP:AGF.  Earwig's copy violation detector: Boyd R. Ovehulse report gives it a clean bill. Hook is hooky enough, I think, and relates directly to the essence of the article.  Hook is short enough, interesting, decently neutral, and appropriately cited.  It is IMO the best possible (hookiest) hook from this article. QPQ done, although article is not yet promoted (not required). 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 10:58, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
