 * Symbol question.svg Length, date verified. Well researched, well sourced, and all paragraphs have inline citations.  No evident paraphrasing issues.  Very interesting hook.  However, the one sentence in the article regarding the chain lacks an inline citation so it's unclear which source verifies it. --Rosiestep (talk) 15:17, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I fixed that. I tend to follow the approach that all sentences after one citation are sourced from the next citation, but I suppose for a DYK hook it should be absolutely clear. Aymatth2 (talk) 15:44, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Hook's ref verified. QPQ done. Good to go. --Rosiestep (talk) 02:04, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
