Age of article is fine, but size is ~~only 1116 B (181 words)~~ now big enough using Dr Pda's tool. Surely more can be added? Great choice of subject matter. Is clearly neutral and encyclopedic, and hook is fine...so all we need are more words...Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:31, 2 October 2011 (UTC).

Thanks for the review, and for adding content. It appears that the article now has 1573 B (258 words) of prose. Alpha_Quadrant ^(talk) 18:04, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
