I should get this done by tomorrow JAGUAR  18:24, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Initial comments

• "Amazed at how closely the signal" - informal, try "impressed"?
• I would recommend expanding the lead slightly (a line or two maybe) in order to summarise, and also splitting in the lead into two paragraphs would be great
• "when the 37-year old Ehman spotted a surprising vertical column" - is it necessary to include his age in this sentence? Seems like it was extracted from somewhere
• "The circled alphanumeric code 6EQUJ5" - per WP:BOLD it isn't required to embolden anything other than the lead title. This would be better in quotes
• The first half of the Time variation section is unreferenced
• I would recommend merging some of the smaller paragraphs in the Searches for recurrence of the signal section to improve prose flow
• The See also section is a bit long, I think maybe cutting down a couple of links would suffice (there is a guideline on too many external links somewhere, but I can't remember it!)

References

• Ref 12 is dead

On hold

This is mostly a well written and broad article, with a few tweaks it could meet the GA criteria. I remember reading the Wow! signal years ago, it is so interesting. If all of the above can be addressed then it should pass JAGUAR  12:22, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

@Jaguar: I'd say its a  Done. Expanded the lead and made some tweaks, merged and removed the dead cite to replace with afar better one. Thanks again for the quick review. -The Herald (Benison) • ^{the joy of the LORD}_{my strength} 17:52, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
