After thoroughly reviewing this article, I have decided to put this article on hold. There are some minor prose issues and citation format issues that are keeping this article from reaching good article status. I will give you the general seven days to fix these issues and/or address issues you believe do not concern the good article criteria. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Since all of the issues have been addressed, I feel confident passing this article. Congratulations and keep up the good work! Rp0211 ^(talk2me) 22:33, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
