 * Symbol confirmed.svg Not sure why this one has taken so long to get a review. The article is newly (when it was nominated here) promoted to GA, easily meets the size requirements and is fully cited to reliable sources. No copyvios detected, all hooks are directly cited except for Alt2 - so I went in and added it to speed things along. I like all the hooks equally, and I think this is a very thorough article that the editors should consider seeing if it should go to FA. Miyagawa (talk) 16:39, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
