 * Grammar edit. Gimme a sec. — Llywelyn II   05:02, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, ok, the present hook is wrong, but there's sourcing on a similar one. Fix'd. — Llywelyn II   05:06, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough at time of submission; long enough (~3900 elig. char.); neutral and seemingly non-controversial; sourced; Earwig finds low probability of copyvio. Present hook clocks in at 161 char.; moderately interesting and now factually and grammatically accurate; no BIO issues. Sourced; verified; and, while page doesn't mention it, source notes that the "everyone" was 24 people, not just the three or four listed in the article.

 * Note: For the promoter: be aware that this form of the hook is approved, but some well-meaning but utterly mistaken editors are mangling it without discussion. Kindly be sure that the accurate hook is the one being used for the front page. Cf. . — Llywelyn II   05:57, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
