Length, date verified. All non-lead paragraphs have refs; all refs appear to be RS. Hook is interesting; hook length is fine. QPQ still pending. The only sentence mentioning transit point doesn't have an inline citation; or does another sentence with an inline citation confirm the hook? --Rosiestep (talk) 03:52, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. I just reviewed a nomination and posted it above. FYI, I also added some recent eventish info to the article related to the ongoing civil war. As for the hook citation, it's supported by reference #4. Should I add it to the hook fact sentence for the sake of the nomination? --Al Ameer son (talk) 04:31, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Yes, please, in order to meet the requirements; you can remove it later if you wish. QPQ issue resolved. --Rosiestep (talk) 05:08, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Done. --Al Ameer son (talk) 05:20, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
