Generally well-written, although there are a number of minor issues to be addressed. The article has been tagged accordingly. --Ohconfucius ^¡digame! 04:27, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have addressed both tags; clarified one and got rid of the controversy statement (the source didn't go into detail, and I couldn't find anything online). Anything else, preferences for the hook perhaps? Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:31, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think the original hook is fine, it being interesting yet cryptic enough. I would leave the choice of ALT hooks to others; my only comment on the alts is my feeling that ALT4 is the weakest by a large margin. Ohconfucius ^¡digame! 03:00, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Any reason for the x in neutrality? Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:13, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Inadvertance. I copied the table and must have not noticed the cross. Apologies. --Ohconfucius ^¡digame! 16:26, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
