The hook is far too long. You need to shorten it by at least 36 characters for it to be acceptable. There also appears to be a serious problem with references - namely, there is only one. Most of the text seems to be unsourced, including the hook fact. Surtsicna (talk) 20:45, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

As with the "Un-word" article, this article needs more prose to qualify for DYK. The text in the table doesn't count toward the 1500-word requirement. --Orlady (talk) 21:43, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Please close and disregard. Currently, I'm not able to address these issues. --FoxyOrange (talk) 07:58, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
