• The article is new enough and long enough. Every paragraph has inline citations. Checks for copyvio revealed one instance of close paraphrasing existing in a phrase in the article, which I corrected in the article. Content in the hook is verified in the article by reliable sources. NorthAmerica¹⁰⁰⁰ 14:18, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
