- Hook, date and length are fine; no plagiarism. However, the articles have a couple of prose problems I can't fix, and these should be rectified before main page appearance. Referencing is acceptable, although giving page numbers for individual cites would improve the articles (the first paper is 246 pages long). I was able to verify citations to the main source (Wolfe et al.), which I was able to find online, but had to apply AGF to anything cited to Moss et al. Have contacted author on their talk page regarding the couple of sentences that need looking at. --JN466 00:48, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
