 * Symbol confirmed.svg Verified:
 * The expansion is well in excess of 5x. The expansion of the prose took place between 4 and 6 November and has continued since, so this probably should have been nominated under 4 November, but that doesn't really matter at this stage.
 * High-quality sources are used, both online and offline. No copyvio, close paraphrasing or plagiarism are apparent from this source or other online sources I have checked.
 * Regarding the hooks: all are fine, based on either online or offline sources. Personally, my favourite is the original "Mata Hari" hook.
 * Speaking as a non-scientist, I find the article easy to read and understand.
 * A QPQ review has been done.  Hassocks  5489 (Floreat Hova!)  14:00, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
