 * Symbol confirmed.svg article is long enough and new (created June 6 and nominated June 12). The picture is free and shows up well. There are no disambiguation links. The article cites two online sources several times and the links work. Both sources report the same research findings - one is the PLOS article and the other is a newspaper report about it. The WP article relies pretty heavily on the PLOS article. There are no plagiarism or close paraphrasing issues. The hook fact is intriguing and accurate and cited in the article. QPQ has been done.HazelAB (talk) 23:04, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
