Given the apparent extensive copyright violation in this article (5 sections, quite literally half the article, are in whole or in part verbatim copies of various web pages; who knows how much has been copied from offline sources), I'm not going to bother reviewing it in detail.

I'm quickfailing this review. Please feel free to renominate once you've resolved the copyright violations in the article. --Xover (talk) 21:09, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
