Comments/discussion:

• Two paragraphs still need refs. Can you work this out? The story is extraordinary and deserves top-quality writing. The writing is very good, but could be improved in some places. Unfortunately, I'm extremely pressed for time at the moment, but will try to get to this later. — Marrante (talk) 08:41, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

• • Ok, added sources to the two paras (one was split off from another paragraph - so same source, other one was just a sentence). Added ref right after the info in the hook.Volunteer Marek (talk) 10:25, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
• This article is approved. In the interest of brevity and clarity, I am proposing an ALT1 hook. As soon as the nominator states his preference, this article will be ready to go. Marrante (talk) 12:53, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

  Comment: I adjusted the photo a bit, but can't seem to view it on Wikipedia as it appears in program on my computer. I uploaded it a second time and still am seeing the previous version. I tried deleting cookes, but maybe didn't get the right one. In any case, what I uploaded should have the wedge-shaped light strip along the right removed and some other improvedments. That wedge-shaped strip should not be in the image when it goes to the main page, if the image is used. Marrante (talk) 13:58, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

It works in my browser (Safari) - the white edge strip (It's think it's part of a border common in old photos) is gone in your version. Thanks!Volunteer Marek (talk) 14:38, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

ALT1 is fine - brevity and clarity are good.Volunteer Marek (talk) 14:39, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

• Good to go using the ALT1 hook! And thank you, Marek, for confirming that the photo I uploaded is the adjusted one. I made the upload foolproof (though not the edits where I leave out a word), but those "lyin' eyes" 'll getcha every time. Marrante (talk) 15:13, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
