Pass/Fail:

I'm sorry, but I am going to have to fail this article. For one, there are only 3 references, and each paragraph should be referenced. Also, the article is very short and does not contain enough information. It is very well written, however, and it is a good start to a good article, but renominate it once these issues have been dealt with.

B-Class fail[edit]

This article is not meeting criteria 3 - the lead section is very weak. Criteria 2 is questionable based on the length of the article. Brad101AWB (talk) 16:17, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
