 * Symbol question.svg Hook sourced, length is good and pretty interesting (crossed out the "boring" one); 2996 characters in prose so definitely fine length-wise; tone of article and hook is formal and neutral; however, the DYKcheck tool is saying the expansion was started in late November, well beyond the seven day limit. (Alot of content was added just today though.) Can I get a second opinion, please? --ceradon ( talk  •  contribs ) 00:01, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
