Age, length, and QPQ check out. AGF on Turkish-language sources for the hook fact and for plagiarism. I've copyedited the hook a bit and done a substantial copyedit to the article, including trimming the citations per WP:OVERCITE. These changes were big enough that I'd appreciate it if the nominator looked over the article and double-checked that everything is still correct according to the sources. Once that's done I'll approve the nomination. Lagrange 613 07:49, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

@Lagrange! Thanks so much indeed for your hard copyediting work. I've checked it out, and found everything fine. BTW, I was not aware of WP:OVERCITE. "You Never Stop Learning". Anyway, appreciate your final approval. --CeeGee 09:02, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, I spoke too soon. Those Turkish-language sources look good, but the English-language source is a term paper posted to a website. It's not a reliable source. Please remove it and take out any information that relies only on that source. (Keep anything that can be verified in the other sources, which again appear reliable.)

Good to go. Thanks for your additional efforts and for bringing to the English Wikipedia a topic we never would have covered without Turkish sources. Lagrange 613 18:29, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
