Overall the main issues concern the prose, the lack of some information in the formatting of the refereces, and some information not being verified by the existing sources. On hold. MWright96 (talk) 19:49, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Sure, MWright. This all looks doable, I will get to this. I'm on a slight wikibreak during the pandemic, so please bare with me if I'm a little slow at commenting on these points. :) Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:19, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

MWright96 - I have covered the above. Thanks for your patients. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:34, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
