  • Length, date, hook's ref verified. All non-lede sentences have refs; all refs appear to be RS. After spot check, no apparent close paraphrasing issues. Interesting hook; hook length is fine. QPQ is done. Can we tweak the hook's phrase, "has only just been lifted", so that the element of time can be understood in the future? --Rosiestep (talk) 17:35, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
  • Both hooks are verified. Let's go with ALT1. GTG. --Rosiestep (talk) 05:56, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
The original hook is best IMO as topical hooks don't need a date, it will be clear what "only just" means while the hook is on the main page and afterward it will be archived with a time-stamped set. Gatoclass (talk) 16:24, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
I'm ok with that. --Rosiestep (talk) 17:15, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
