• New enough, marginal pass on size (DYK Check reports 1519 characters (266 words) "readable prose size"), hook is interesting and succinct and the cite checks out, within policy. QPQ checks out. Good to go. Two (optional) suggestions: add a paragraph break or two and see if there's a couple of more facts to add because the size is marginal. Thanks! Woz2 (talk) 00:40, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

• The article really is short, and it's hard to read in one long paragraph. Yoninah (talk) 00:34, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

• ok - split now. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 02:11, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

BTW I'm no expert but should it read "it was a long period (Mira) variable but recently changed character" rather than "it is a long period (Mira) variable" Woz2 (talk) 00:40, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

• Thaks, Cas Liber, it looks much better now. The length is good and no close paraphrasing seen. Hook ref verified and cited inline. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 11:35, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
