Pass/Fail:

Overall, it's well written. There may be a little more use of "blogs" as sources than I'm comfortable with. They're not suppossed to be used to begin with, but I can bend this a little with regard to certain blogs (those published by reputable news outlets: LA Times, WSJ, etc) as most often that is an easier format for publishers to allow certein columnists to publish reviews and the like; I have a "Blog" of sorts myself for a print magazine, I'm the only writer they allow to do this, it has editorial oversight and is just a means for me to quickly publish articles relating to the Magazine and the internet in a timely fashion, not a "personal reflection" type of blog that wiki is against, but I'm getting off point, here. I'm going to look at some of the ones I'm not familiar with a bit more closely. Before I say they're "reliable" or not. The prose is generally good, but one of my pet peeves is over use of certain filler words like "Also". Sometimes it is warranted and I usually remove it unless it's in a direct Quote. In the Sequel section it's in each of the paragraphs: "Also in September", "Also in August", "Also in October". Try and rephrase this in a better way. thanks--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 21:19, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the helpful critique, I'll try to clean up some of the prose.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 21:29, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
