 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article is new enough and long enough. The original hook, ALT3 and ALT4 could be used, the first being well cited and ALT3 and ALT4 being supported by one of the two citations at the end of the sentence. The article is neutral and I found no evidence of close paraphrasing. I make no comment on who should be credited. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:40, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
