• ... that Seattle Mariners CEO Howard Lincoln posed for the Norman Rockwell painting The Scoutmaster?

• New enough and long enough. NPOV. No close paraphrasing or copyvios found when checking the online sources. Decent hook is well-cited as is the article. However, the hook does imply that Lincoln posed as the scoutmaster, when he actually posed as one of the four much less prominent scouts. Perhaps "posed as a scout for" would be more accurate.

  • @Edwardx: I feel that the addition of "posed as a scout for" makes the hook wordy but If you disagree, I am open to the addition --Guerillero | My Talk 18:54, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

• Okay it's not that big a deal. I'll sign it off as it stands then! Good to go. Edwardx (talk) 23:22, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
