@TheGracefulSlick: Date and length fine. However i have a few problems with the article. First off, it coudl do with breaking up into sections rather than being one big one. Second the hook fact is not cited inline in the article. QPQ is done. If you can fix those issues then ping me, I'll have another look. The C of E God Save the Queen!
