 * Symbol confirmed.svg Seems great! The first hook seems especially suitable.  I would omit the mention of Washington in ALT2 to make it punchier.  I would recommend that the cover image not be used: it is not particularly clear at low resolution - but certainly open to other opinions.  Thanks for all your work - great article!
