This article is being nominated a second time after taking some much needed advice and assistance. Substantial expansion (while eliminating potential bias) was done,[2] and an editor from The Guild of Copy Editors did some fantastic work.[3] The first FAC asked for some good sourcing and I can now say that even a published paper was used for the relatively young subject. I don't think there are any issues remaining but am stoked to take care of any issues.

I think it looks good overall. My one complaint would be the intro is a little long. Stevetauber (talk) 19:54, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I feared the opposite since the lead is a relatively short summary. I would be happy to take action if you see anything in particular that seems like too much.Cptnono (talk) 05:28, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Take a look at WP:LEADLENGTH. The article is 13kb of prose, which normally would warrant one to two paragraphs. Four paragraphs for an article of this length would require remarkable justification. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 08:28, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Closing comment -- Sorry but this review seems to be almost a non-starter, so I'll be archiving it shortly. Given the lack of feedback, no issue with you renominating in less than the usual two-week waiting period. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 15:28, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
