 * New enough (created today) and definitely long enough (exceeds minimum size by some margin) and from the source I can review free of copyright violations. This is an interesting, well written article that is already at a highly polished state and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.  This could easily go on to be a Featured Article.

I prefer to avoid hooks that tell the whole story, because I believe they make it less likely people will visit the actual content. hamiltonstone (talk) 22:41, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
