• Article is new and long enough. Sources are cited at paragraph ends. "Duplication Detector" finds no close paraphrasing. Hook is interesting. Its length is within limit. Article says "Thiamine" instead of "VitaminB1" even though it is the same. An addition of "aka Vitamin B1" in the article might avoid confusion by not experts. Or rewording of the hook might be helpful. Approval will be valid only after that change. (I won't be able to check the change for a week. I ask someone another to do so.) QPQ was done. --CeeGee 18:54, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
