The original actually rang kind of biased to me when I read it, so in case of objection, here is an alternative:

• Length and date are both fine. I agree that the first hook is maybe a little biased sounding, so I'll review ALT1. The hook is appropriately referenced in the article. Spotchecks reveal no evidence of close-paraphrasing (I rephrased one minor concern). Good to go. Harrias ^talk 13:24, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
