Thanks for this GA nomination, Onel5969. I will go through the article in details later today. I might be a bit slow with this review. If you think I'm too slow and that is likely to be a problem, please let me know as soon as possible. I'm an extremely slow reviewer but my aim is always to pass rather than fail; I would rather push to improve an article rather than simply fail the review. I will normally help with minor improvement rather than listing them here. Anything more significant than minor improvements, I will raise here. I see the reviewer's role as collaborative and collegiate, so I welcome discussion regarding interpretation of the GA criteria. Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 09:37, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
