 * Symbol confirmed.svg New, created April 24; Prose > 1500 characters; neutral sources cited correctly, I find no copyvios; has reviewed another DYK; hook slightly exceeds 200 characters (215) hook is 154 characters, can you trim it a little, formatted correctly; hook fact cited (assume GF for offline sources) - I think I prefer ALT1; no image used in DYK. I think this is good to go. Jezhotwells (talk) 13:09, 8 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Above summary edited to move tick to beginning and to add sig and time for reviewer. Note that hook sizes are 154 characters for the original, 174 characters for ALT1, and 207 characters for ALT2. I have therefore struck ALT2 as being ineligible. (An ALT3 can always be created by trimming ALT2 if desired.) BlueMoonset (talk) 23:09, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
