Timeliness of submission, length of article, and length of hook check out as OK. Offline citation AGF. OK for the queue. I played with the hook a bit, but it still seems awkward with some many dependent clauses in the sentence. (I got rid of one dependent clause that seems to have helped a bit.) - Tim1965 (talk) 00:30, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
