  • Too short, I'm afraid - you'll need to expand the text to 1,500 characters of prose or above. Right now it's at 1289, so you need another 211 characters to qualify. Prioryman (talk) 21:44, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
@Prioryman: ... I added a bit Victuallers (talk) 11:26, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
Victuallers, thank you! Oncenawhile (talk) 13:53, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
OK, good stuff. Getting back to the review, it's clearly new enough and now long enough. The sources are reliable and the hook fact is reliably sourced too. However, the source book references need to be filled out - publisher, date, ISBN and (in all but once case) page numbers are missing. Prioryman (talk) 12:12, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi Prioryman, I have added those where available (there are no ISBNs for the older publications). Oncenawhile (talk) 13:07, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for doing that - I'm happy to sign this off now. For future reference, I highly recommend this tool for creating properly formatted Google Books citations. Prioryman (talk) 20:42, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
