The "Creation" subsection should contain references. Beyond that, this may be a quick pass. I will now take some time to examine the sources. PSWG1920 (talk) 01:01, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- I am uncertain whether several web-based sources used here meet WP:RS. I'm also concerned with the choppiness of sections. Unfortunately I may have to withdraw from this review due in part to computer problems (slowness.) Not sure exactly how to go about that without leaving a mess.

Outcome
[edit]Well, it seems that you've done everything I asked for, which means that this article has succesfully passed as a Good Aticle. Well done! But the fun doesn't stop there. As always, Good Article nominations has a backlog, so it would be really great if you could help out by reviewing an article or 20. The Spring 2009 backlog clearance drive is not yet over! </plug> Once again, well done on the article - weebiloobil (talk) 09:30, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
