 * Symbol voting keep.svg This article is new enough and long enough. The original hook has an inline citation but I have struck ALT1 because it is poorly worded and does not have an inline citation. The article is neutral. I had difficulty accessing the sources but do not believe there are copyright issues with this article. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:16, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
