 * The article is new and long enough (4.379 characters). The hook is not too long (105 characters). The image is free, but I think it does not show up well at small size (100 × 100px).Symbol question.svg Maybe its cropping would resolve this?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 08:52, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Hallo Antidiskriminator, what about this new one? BTW, how should be the right proportion? Alex2006 (talk) 09:45, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Hello Antidiskriminator, thanks for appreciating it! Unfortunately I have no image processing software here, but it would be great if you could crop the goddess :-), so that we can use it. Alex2006 (talk) 11:53, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
 * But I already cropped it. Look at the image I presented here and compare it to the image you originally added. Cropped Hecate appear much better in 100 × 100px size. If you agree it is easy to replace it?--Antidiskriminator (talk) 11:57, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Of course I agree, Antidiskriminator, thanks! Alex2006 (talk) 12:03, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Done! Alex2006 (talk) 12:06, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks. The hook is cited and neutral. Before final approval I suggest to check the tense of the hook and if it is better to use "could have derived" instead of "could derive" (sorry if I am wrong here)? Good to go. Antidiskriminator (talk) 12:23, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks Antidiskriminator, I will ask a native speaker: I was born under the shade of St. Peter... :-) Alex2006 (talk) 12:30, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
