  • New enough, long enough. The article itself is cited, neutral, and does not contain noticable copyvios from reading the cited article and Earwigs. AGF for sentences where only the Magnaghi source is provided. Hook 1's "hundreds of used skis" is a bit unclear in terms of the actual number of skis: the source seems to imply hundreds as in "a lot of skis", while the hook seems to imply the literal meaning of hundred. I personally prefer ALT2 since the two seeminng unrelated fields makes the hook more interesting.
