  • ... that Canadian entrepreneur Brian Wong became one of the youngest persons ever to receive venture capital funding at the age of 19?

  • Hook is mentioned in the article and properly referenced. Article is long enough and sufficiently referenced. Spot check on plagiarism turned up one sentence that is too close to the source. I will therefore also check all other sources which might take some time. --Pgallert (talk) 08:28, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
    • Checked all sources and reworded a few statements. No foul play, it is just that the article has so many sources with essentially the same content that possible phrasing for certain facts is quickly exhausted.. --Pgallert (talk) 09:03, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
      • Comment: The picture in the article has a license that I believe is suitable for the main page. So this could be a pictured hook, if someone can insert it for me. --Pgallert (talk) 09:03, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment: added image to nomination per Pgallert's request. I don't know whether it matters that Wong is wearing a t-shirt with his company's logo on it, but thought I should mention that fact. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:50, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
