• Interesting article. Decently written (I've made a few minor edits to clean up typos) and nicely illustrated. Sourcing is fine, and the length and date check out. The intro is a bit too brief though; it needs to be more comprehensive to meet the requirements of WP:LEAD. I'm happy to sign this off once that has been sorted out.

• Lead writing is not my strongest point. I have expanded it, covering the main themes of the article. Further improvements are always welcome of course. Fram (talk) 06:48, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

• Looks good to me. I think we can get this out the door now. :-) Prioryman (talk) 18:58, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
