  • The hook is too negative for a BLP. The source actually says "by some measures" or "arguably", so that needs to be changed, but I would prefer to see another hook. Everything else is fine. StAnselm (talk) 00:59, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
Yes, that's much better and I'm happy with the alternate hook. I note that "developed" does not appear in the article (since the hook is a synthesis of a number of facts) but I think it is justifiable from the context. StAnselm (talk) 06:55, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
