Preliminary Decision

Article is on hold until the 25th. miranda 10:03, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Post-Analysis

I have failed this article, due to 1.) The article being on hold for almost a month, and 2.) lack of submitter addressing the issues during that timespan. One of the twenty-three issues were addressed, in summary. miranda 00:01, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
