I've listed this article for peer review because I originally put it forward for Featured List (without realising about PR). I addressed the majority of the issues in the FL review but want to get the opinion of other editors before resubmitting it. I believe it almost meets the required standard. All issues such as redirects and dablinks I think have been fixed.
