The hook is far too long. You need to shorten it by at least 36 characters for it to be acceptable. There also appears to be a serious problem with references - namely, there is only one. Most of the text seems to be unsourced, including the hook fact. Surtsicna (talk) 20:45, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
- The hook has been shortened. Surtsicna (talk) 21:16, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
- Please close and disregard. Currently, I'm not able to address these issues. --FoxyOrange (talk) 07:58, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
