 * Symbol question.svg New, long enough, within policy, no copyvio found via tool, no QPQ necessary as outside nom. First part of hook doesn't have an immediate ref in article (see 3b). The "100 years old" part also isn't directly sourced in the article, though somewhat implied. Please ping me if I don't respond. czar  ♔  19:36, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
