Very well done. The newly added sections of the article are well organized, readable and well referenced. The content you added adheres to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy. Overall, your contributions greatly improved the article. Hellohi15 (talk) 16:48, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I've had to remove some of your additions, although others were excellent. The problem was that in some cases the additions you made had wording that was a bit too similar to the original sources, although in others you did a great job of rewording the text. The problem is to do with Wikipedia's license - because Wikipedia is released as "free use" under a creative commons license, we need to abide by some fairly high standards when it comes to copyright. In this case all of your text was properly attributed, which was great (and it was also great to see proper referencing, which a lot of people miss), but in some cases you seem to have copied the text directly from the originals.

I haven't had to remove everything you added, and, as mentioned, some was great. But I've had to selectively remove some additions where copyright problems emerged. - Bilby (talk) 02:31, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
