 * Symbol confirmed.svg Long ago (4 August 2013) this article had about 930 characters in two bullet points in its "Reception" section, and about 340 characters in the prose in the remainder of the article. On 13 September the Reception section was reworked clearly as prose, and other sections were expanded (especially Plot), bringing the total prose to about 4130 characters. Therefore this article is new enough, having undergone a 5x expansion of its prose, if we are willing regard the original Reception section as essentially block quotes - technically false, since they were bullet points, but I'm willing to give the expander the benefit of the doubt, since the bullet points functioned essentially as block quotes. Article is also long enough, and hook is short enough, and reasonably interesting, neutral, and is cited inline (in the expanded reception section). Plot section does not have inline citations, but the citation to the original work of art is implicit for WP article plot sections. Other sections do have adequate inline cites, and spot checks suggest they are free of copyright/close paraphrasing issues. QPQ also satisfied. Thus hook appears good to go. -- Presearch (talk) 18:44, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
