 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough, QPQ done, and article is within policy. Two of the three refs used are behind a paywall, so I can't verify whether or not the article closely paraphrases those references and must rely on good faith that those refs directly support the quoted content. The hook is interesting and within policy. AHeneen (talk) 09:03, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
