  • The hook fact was ref'd, but the source is written in Arabic, a foreign language I do not understand, hence the blue tick. The article is new enough and (barely) long enough. The hook was short enough. Referencing in the article looks fine. No concerns with close paraphrasing, copyvio, neutrality. --PFHLai (talk) 19:58, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
