~~Billy Hathorn (talk) 01:49, 7 August 2011 (UTC)~~ Striking a confirmation that gives no indication any significant review of this article was performed. A "review" that marked "plagiarism/close paraphrasing" as "NA"?? This article still needs a review, sorry. Sharktopus ^talk 12:18, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent article, thorough and handles contentious matters deftly, great for the front page. Just needs a slight expansion so meets the x5 requirement. Gamaliel (talk) 19:29, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Length is fine now; tick based on previous review. Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:36, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
