 * Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough. No copyvios I can find. Both parts of the hook are sourced to a book I don't have access to, so AGFing on hook sources. However, the review you have used as a QPQ doesn't mention copyvios/close paraphrasing.  P p p er y 21:41, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I guess because it had never been bot-reviewed, and I generally trust Alan to not do that. But anyway, it gets a pretty clean bill of health). Daniel Case (talk) 03:49, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

 * I should have stated that I already had ... I thought it would be obvious from looking at it that I had taken the anniversary connection out of it. I will be, with this edit, further revising it to take your comment into account (I have attributed it to Kurkjian since he built his book around it, but he is not the only one).

 * Symbol confirmed.svg I am reviewing the replacement hook, which is different to original. This one is short enough, confirmed by the article, referenced, and confirmed by reference. Also confirming that correct person is credited. based on Pppery's review, this is OK to proceed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:51, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
