 * Comment – Moved from draft on December 29.


 * The first hook is absurd. Desks don't get cataracts (though rivers do). EEng (talk) 21:10, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Corrected --Hirolovesswords (talk) 23:04, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 * How does that help? The tops of desks don't get cataracts either. EEng (talk) 03:08, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
 * There you go. Now no one will think Dr. Rambo performed surgery on a desk. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 04:23, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I took a "stab" at it. I do hope you know I was just kidding. EEng (talk) 07:24, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Symbol voting keep.svg This article is new enough and long enough. Any of the hooks could be used as they all have inline citations. The image is in the public domain, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright/close paraphrasing issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:51, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
