- Article checks out in all the usual ways, as does the hook. I have two issues, though. First, a lot of the statements have double or triple (or even more) references--Wikipedia:Citation overkill is instructive reading--and many of them are not arranged properly (superscript footnotes should be in the proper order). Second, the prose is not very attractive. Sentence variation is completely lacking (there's only one type of sentence in here--simple sentence in SVO order) and the almost complete absence of punctuation besides the mandatory periods makes this very unattractive. I'll pass this as soon as some effort is made to make this more legible to the average reader. Drmies (talk) 01:52, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
