  • New enough. Long enough. Well written. Neutral, dispassionate tone. Most of the sources are offline, so AGF here. One online source checks out. All hooks are cited. I personally prefer ALT2. Good to go for ALT2. Hybernator (talk) 23:30, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
  • The article has expansion tags on several sections. Yoninah (talk) 00:08, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
  • Does it matter for DYK? The editor has placed them for future expansion. But they don't interfere negatively with the narrative. If anything, I think of them as minders. But I'll defer to more experienced DYK editors for guidance here. Hybernator (talk) 00:32, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
  • The problematic templates are no longer on the article. Article is long enough and new enough, as Yoninah already noted. I did not see evidence of copyvio or close paraphrasing. Both of the ALT hooks are supported by the online source; I have to AGF on the original hook. I agree with Yoninah that ALT2 is the best choice. --Orlady (talk) 02:45, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
