 * Symbol voting keep.svg New article is 4,714 characters long and completed on the same day as nomination. Article is well-sourced.  Hook is 136 characters long (ALT1 is 131); both are under the 200 character max and are interesting.  Ref 8 (verifying the main hook) is an offline source, hence AGF as reliable.  Ref 12 (verifying the ALT1 hook) is a reliable source from JSTOR journal.  QPQ done.  Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 11:51, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
