I have a slight preference for the first hook--it specifies the kind of "standard reference", and places the subject first, though the italics for the book followed by the italics for the drawing note is a bit awkward, and the second of course is an active sentence. Next DYK volunteer, take your pick. Drmies (talk) 15:19, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
