 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough, fully referenced. No QPQ required. Hook verified. Good to go! Hawkeye7 (talk) 05:00, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Why is "...that X is located in Y" interesting? Yoninah (talk) 16:55, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg OK, so go with the first hook. Reinstating tick. Yoninah (talk) 17:42, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
