I will be reviewing this page, to see if it meets the qualifications for Good Article status. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 20:42, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Update: Things seem good here, for being well-written: the article does not appear to possess any of the quick-fail criteria, for one thing. On further inspection, it's lead section is good, and its layout seems alright; the sections are appropriately labelled, and the paragraphs are none too long or short; everything is clear and easy to read and understand. There aren't any misleading words or expressions, and no bias, and not counting the references and the bibliography, there is no list to worry about in the article. I will be checking it for spelling and grammar, in a moment... Wilhelmina Will (talk) 21:04, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Update: Even better; I made a few corrections to the grammar where I saw fit, and I also wikified it a little more. Along the way, I can quickly cross out the possibility of a stability issue; until my corrections, the article had not been edited in over half a month, and was mostly edited by one user; no disputing edits between that user or the others appear to have taken place. I think it also checks against the rest of the criteria, but I want to go over it once more to be sure. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 21:18, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Update: Indeed, this article is well-cited; all sources are reliable, there is no original research, and the article is not "crufty" so to speak; that is, it sticks to the topic and does not go into unnecessary detail. Finally, it seems to cover all importance encyclopedic aspects of the topic, for which information is available. Congratulations to Ucucha; I think he's got another winner, here!
