 * Symbol confirmed.svg Google books confirms the first hook, which I prefer. I changed the Stub class to Start, so DYK Check checks out. The article date and length are good, adequate referencing, looks like it is free from copyright violation and too-close paraphrasing. Both hooks are supported by cites, and hook length is okay.
