• Great work on this article.

• Expanded 5x since November 6
• Verified hook. (Although I can't access many of the sources in the article, other major claims are easily verifiable online.) Hook is the right length and interesting.
• Article is well-constructed, although could perhaps use a small copyedit. Great pictures, too. Thank you! groupuscule (talk) 09:59, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

What do we think about holding this for Nov 11th? As it has an image it would be a great lead hook (and likely get some high views). --Errant ^(chat!) 14:15, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
