Thanks a bunch for that. I've left a note on TomStar81's talk page informing him of the results since we collaborated on the article and the reference issues you brought up stem from his expansion of the article, (I used the citation templates, he didn't). Also, look for this article going to A-Class review and FAC possibly during the summer. -MBK004 02:55, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Nice job on "Miss Ima"!
