  • Article is new enough, long enough and written in a neutral tone with no evidence of plagiarism or close paraphrasing (from the sites I can access). QPQ done. The hook fact (and most of the rest of the article is sourced from articles in "The Times" which are not accessible to me and therefore I AGF as with an offline source.— Rod talk 12:53, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
