Review section[edit]

This 2006 promotion needs some work to comply with FA standards. The original nominator, Plange (once a stalwart of WP:BIO) has not edited for over two years, and hasn't edited the article since 2007. As mentioned on talk on 2021-12-01, there is uncited text, and some questions about sourcing. Hopefully the article can be tuned up for a FAR save.

Also, I saw a copyright notice at Plange's talk when doing the notifications: [2] SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:30, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I spot-checked most of the cites to Blake - no copyvio, although the page numbers seem slightly off. I am unsure of the reliability of Lang and King. Hog Farm _Talk 02:32, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
