"Good to go" is not an adequate review, and certainly won't qualify as a QPQ. Please describe what was checked: size, age, neutrality, hook facts, hook sourcing, article sourcing, close paraphrasing, QPQ review, etc. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:15, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

If you don't like the review, feel free to make your own review, instead of complaining over nothing. But to make things easier, here it goes:

Cambalachero, thanks for the more fully explained review. You don't need to write it out like this; as T:TDYK#How to review a nomination explains, reviews should begin with one of the 5 review symbols that appear at the top of the edit screen, and then indicate all aspects of the article that you have reviewed. The problem for those of us looking to promote a hook to a prep area is that we don't know (and can't keep track) of who is a new reviewer and who is knowledgeable, and whether they've remembered to check everything or might have forgotten the close paraphrasing or neutrality checks this time. If you wish QPQ credit for your reviews, just follow these guidelines and you'll be all set.

Reiterating Cambalachero's tick for clarity. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:33, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Comment - Source for hook checks out. Article long enough and 5x expanded. QPQ done. Article is properly sourced. No close paraphrasing nor copyvio. One grammatical issue with the hook, there is an inconsistency: starts off with "its" and then moves to "their". EagerToddler39 (talk) 00:25, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Fixed. —Bloom6132 (talk) 05:05, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Can someone please restore the green tick now that this minor and trivial concern has been addressed? —Bloom6132 (talk) 17:53, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Done. Hook has been fixed. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:10, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
