Date of promotion to GA is fine, QPQ started but still in progress, taking the book and behind a pay-wall references on good faith so all hooks pass. I have added (pictured) to each and the license on the image is fine. Personally I don't know if the original hook would be that notable to a casual reader, I think ALT1 or ALT 3 would draw the most interest - Basement12 (T.C) 11:22, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
