New enough, long enough, each paragraph is sourced (AGF on offline sources), QPQ not required and hook is interesting and cited. I would however suggest a slight amendment to the hook as follows (but it's no biggy):

Alt hook is fine by me, will it need another review? Thanks, Mat ty.007 18:16, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
