Articles need 1500 characters of prose - this only has 262 as anything in the table does not count. SmartSE (talk) 01:09, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Will manage to expand the prose in the article shortly.--Jetstreamer (talk) 14:30, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

I expanded the prose section of the article. Please let me know if it's ok now.--Jetstreamer (talk) 00:09, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

I made some changes to the prose, which is now over the threshold with 1638 characters. The sourcing looks OK, and spot checks didn't reveal anything too alarming. It's well laid out, comprehensively referenced and quite interesting (and definitely a bit scary). Good to go now. Prioryman (talk) 20:27, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
