 * Symbol confirmed.svg No image. Good bio with good sources and a fair length. Hook checks out. There is a more tabloid factoid about her being "the killer of millions of killers" but this one works too. Thanks for the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Victuallers (talk • contribs) 13:01, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

 * What? The example text given in the review instructions you quote says (for example) "Article length and age are fine, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, reliable sources are used. But the hook needs to be shortened." Thanks for the meta review.

So: Here is my review reworded

Article length and age are fine, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, reliable sources are used and the hook length is fine too.
 * I'm not sure that there is a substantial difference, but at least it complies with the documents you cited. Whether it was worth pulling a hook for the difference I will leave for others to judge. I would say that I noted just as many points in both reviews. Victuallers (talk) 22:43, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
