 * Symbol question.svg size and age ok, referenced, QPQ done. sourced. hook sourced. Earwig's copyvio looks ok-ish but is inflated by extensive attributed quoting. The only issue is the plot synopsis is a little promotional and melodramatic-sounding. Needs to be  written more neutrally, particularly the last few sentences.

 * All this should be paraphrased in your own words. Difficult-to-rewrite phrases should be put in quotes. Yoninah (talk) 00:16, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
