Comment: I prefer ALTs one through three.

I'm going to review ALT1 as that's my preferred hook, which is also one of the nominator's favourites. Article is new enough (nice 20x expansion on Dec. 3), long enough, and neutral. ALT1 is verified with a subscription source (although I'm approved for JSTOR access, my account never worked and I couldn't get the problem fixed), so I have to AGF on it. No copyvio detected. QPQ done. ALT1 good to go. I added a link to Mexican peso for the $ sign. -Zanhe (talk) 03:03, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
