• Will review this, comments to follow. Mark Arsten (talk) 03:44, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
• Very interesting article, must be a lot of fun to work on. Unfortunately, at first glance, this will require quite a bit of work to reach GA quality. Here are a few of the major issues:

1. Citations: A lot of the article is lacking citations. There should be at least one citation per paragraph.
2. Of the citations that are present, checklinks is showing that about 15 or so are dead. I'm skeptical of the reliability of some of the others, a couple links are to wordpress blogs, which are probably not reliable.
3. Another major issue is the prose quality. It looks like it will need a lot of copyediting to reach GA quality. Also, one sentence paragraphs really break the flow, these should be organized into larger paragraphs.

• This doesn't meet the quickfail standards, so I'm willing to leave this open for the customary week, although it will take a lot of work to get it there. Mark Arsten (talk) 03:56, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure if anyone's willing to tackle this, but if they are, there are a LOT of unacceptable source — allkpop, soshified, and Soompi aren't allowed under WP:RS. They're all blogs. :T The biggest issue with Allkpop is that there's a disclaimer on the site that essentially says nothing can be taken as fact there. SKS (talk) 04:05, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out, interesting, hope someone can did up some better sources. Mark Arsten (talk) 04:50, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
