New enough, long enough, neutral and well-cited. The article is largely built from public domain (copyright expired) sources, and although WP:PARAPHRASE permits close paraphrasing of such sources, Earwig indicates they've been heartily reworded anyway, so no issues there. I gave the article a pretty thorough copyedit as some phrases struck me as old-timely; feel free to fix where I've overstepped. Hook fact is not tremendously interesting. Got any alternatives Ficaia?
