 Done - although I just copy/pasted the caption as the alt text, since it seems to be the same. CorporateM (Talk) 01:37, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Otherwise looks good. I'll put it on hold. Zia Khan 01:22, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

• What is PR program?
• Alt text explains what one can see in the image, so it should be according to WP:Alt. Zia Khan 00:45, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

I read the explanation for alt text, but still not sure what you mean. Can you explain? The source actually says PR department, which would be like the PR team. Not sure if this is better or not. CorporateM (Talk) 20:20, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

• I've done this and the article promoted to GA status. Good work, keep it up! Zia Khan 03:27, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
