 * Symbol question.svg 5× expansion completed (from 127 character stub to 4477 characters as of December 6). QPQ done and refs 2 and 3 appear reliable.  However, the hook is a tad too long.  Maximum is 200 characters with spaces and this article has 209 (without counting the ... and ?).  May I suggest an alternative? —Bloom6132 (talk) 21:40, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
