article is new enough and long enough. The hook is supported by the reference and the other facts in the article are supported by inline references. Valenciano (talk) 22:31, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
The hook is 235 characters (224 without "pictured"), which is far above the 200 maximum allowed for DYK (and hooks should be shorter than that, usually). I've struck the hook; please come up with an ALT that is a valid length. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:14, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

- ALT1 hook is 191 characters—excluding "(pictured)"—so it's a valid length, and has inline source citations. The rest of the approval per Valenciano's original review. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:03, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
