I will be reviewing this article. I look forward to working with you, Oriolesfan8 . Tell me when you want to get started. For this next week, I will be available Dec 22 and 23, a little less on Dec 24, 25, and 26. And I am going snowboarding Dec 27-29 without good internet. Tell me what you can do. Thanks.

I'm glad to see you'll be understanding about time, because I actually won't have internet access all week. If you don't mind waiting till the 30th, that would be great. Thank you for taking up this article, and have a nice Christmas! Oriolesfan8 (talk) 12:29, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks and enjoy your holidays and vacation. Sportsguy17 (T • C) 19:02, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Ready to begin when you are. Oriolesfan8 (talk) 16:20, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Awesome. Reflinks looks good, albeit Checklinks is a little concerning. Try if possible to check any links that are not white, especially the red-highlighted link and if needed, replace it. Next, I shall be giving a section-by-section analysis/review. Sportzilla | _ROARR!! 02:39, 2 January 2014 (UTC) Note: Alternate account of Sportsguy17

So, although there are a few dead links and redirecting links, it is very well-referenced and very good to read. I will work with spelling & grammar and see what I find. Sportzilla | _ROARR!! 02:52, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

The spelling and grammar looked good and I didn't find any copyvios, so here is a pass for you. Sportsguy17 (T • C) 13:41, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
