 * I'll review this one, —Noswall59 (talk) 22:11, 5 March 2015 (UTC).
 * The article is new enough (created 25 Feb 2015, nominated 3 Mar 2015); long enough (2026 chars); it is neutral; the article uses citations throughout; however, I am concerned that parts of the article bear close resemblance to this source:.
 * The hook is short enough, accurate (it is cited in the article), is interesting, neutral and well-written.
 * Other: QPQ checks out, and there are no images involved.
 * Symbol question.svg For the reason stated above, I am putting this on hold and await your response. Many thanks, —Noswall59 (talk) 22:24, 5 March 2015 (UTC).

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Okay, I thought this might be the case. I have altered the wording a bit, because it did adhere so closely to that source. As far as I can see, this is ready to go, so I will pass it. Well done, —Noswall59 (talk) 16:46, 7 March 2015 (UTC).
