If the hook is still factual, a more current reference is needed for it. The date of the supporting source is 2013. A lot has happened in the world in the last 3 years. — Maile (talk) 16:02, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

 * What you have linked requires my email address for me to read. I'm not giving that out - that requirement raises all kinds of alarms.  I see the title "The Strangely Stable Kingdom of Jordan", but that in and of itself does not back up the hook.  Do yourself a favor, because I can see this coming up either by a potential promoter, while it's in Prep or Queue, or even the main page. DYK is currently doing a voluntary trial run Here.  Right here at the bottom of the template for the promoter, put a quote from the source where it states the fact, and put a link to that source.  The source also needs to be in the article at the end of the sentence the hook is from. And please use something from 2016. — Maile  (talk) 20:44, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * The country is safe, stable, and for all intents and purposes, a prosperous middle income country. Locals joke that their fortune is due to the lack of fortune in Jordan — it is one of the few countries in the Middle East without oil. Whatever the reason, Jordan remains a beacon of hope in a region that has seen virtually nothing but turmoil in the last several decades. Makeandtoss (talk) 21:11, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. Good job. I hope somebody uses this as a lead hook. That's an awesome picture. And congratulations on getting this through the GA process. — Maile (talk) 21:17, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
