I'll be happy to review this article for GAC. H1nkles (talk) 21:48, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
GA Review Philosophy
editWhen I do an article review I like to provide a Heading-by-Heading breakdown of suggestions for how to make the article better. It is done in good faith as a means to improve the article. It does not necessarily mean that the article is not GA quality, or that the issues listed are keeping it from GA approval. I also undertake minor grammatical and prose edits. After I finish this part of the review I will look at the over arching quality of the article in light of the GA criteria and make my determination as to the overall quality of the article.

Overall Review
edit- The writing is good.
- Are there no available photos? If possible, one should be included.
- It's a pretty basic article, I can't think of much more to add though.
- Links are good and credible. I'll go ahead and pass it at this point, no real need to hold it but please try and find a photo. H1nkles (talk) 22:00, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
