I have put forth an immense amount of work towards this article over the past several months, taking it from a C-class to a GA and also performed a peer review and copy-edit. Before I move on to another article, I would like to see it achieve FA status as I believe it is very close if not already FA quality. Thank you ahead of time for your time and comments, good or bad.

• Comment: I think you should point out that the Atlanteans can't read their language any more before "Kida, learning that Milo can read ancient Atlantean writings, takes him to several murals to translate." in the plot section. Iusethis (talk) 08:32, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
  • Done. DrNegative (talk) 09:11, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Copyscape review - Copyscape searches have revealed that 6% of the article's prose matches ArtInsights, which claims to be "content (c) 2010 ArtInsights unless otherwise specified". Often these claims are bogus because material has been taken from Wikipedia, but an assurance, with evidence, is needed. Graham Colm (talk) 10:58, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

• Thank you for that check and yes it looks like a direct copyvio on our end which has been tweaked since then. I researched the article history and found the diff here[2] and it looks like a pure copy & paste. I am sorry I did not catch this beforehand and I believe I should now withdraw my FA nomination.

Yes, sadly I agree. Graham Colm (talk) 13:55, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
