 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article is new enough and long enough. The original and ALT1 hook facts have inline citations and I have struck the other hooks as being less interesting. The article is neutral, and I detected no close paraphrasing or other copyright issues in the spot checks I made. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:12, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
