• Three brilliant hooks! I really like the initial one. The article meets length requirements, was very well written and cited, and was created in time. Gareth E Kegg (talk) 21:07, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

• I've struck the original hook and replaced it with ALT3. Just because he found donating money more satisfying than making it (as stated in the article and in the source) doesn't necessarily mean that he'd rather donate money than make it. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 00:28, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
