 * Symbol confirmed.svg Hooks are accurately cited to a Greystone Books publication, which appears to be a reputable publisher. QPQ done and no image. Article is of correct length and is new enough, having been created on September 27. NPOV and copyvio both look good. Personally prefer Hook 1 versus the Alt.
