 * Symbol confirmed.svg Recently promoted as a GA; date and length OK. The article is neutral and I could detect no copyvio.  All the hooks are OK;  the original and ALTs 1 and 3 are confirmed by online citations (ALT2 has an offline source which is AGF Symbol voting keep.svg).  I personally prefer the original hook, but would settle for any.  The image is free to use but is not of good quality. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 12:39, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
