• The hook is too long, can you please just shorten this to 200 characters? Zia Khan 18:53, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

• I reworded the hook as suggested. Hope the new version appearing below is now of your liking. Just in case the image provided is used, I also modified its caption a bit. Thanks for your time.--Jetstreamer ^Talk 21:09, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

• It's good for me. After all, the hook is intended to take the reader's attention and to get him/her to the article for the details.--Jetstreamer ^Talk 23:30, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
