 * Symbol confirmed.svg This is pretty good. Date and length are fine. Article is well-referenced and the sources are of good quality. It's well written (just one thing, there's no need to put a comma after a month - e.g. "May, 1772" - I've made some edits to remove examples of this). The hook is appropriately sourced and interesting enough. Overall, we're good to go. Prioryman (talk) 20:17, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
