... that a set of running blades like Oscar Pistorius wears costs $30,000?

Very interesting and well-written article! Article is new and long enough, hook fact is short and snappy, and the hook fact has been verified with the online source. However, several paragraphs (in some cases, end-of-paragraph sentences) need citations. Once these are added, I think it's good to go. Sasata (talk) 04:12, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. Could you be more specific about what citations might be needed? I thought I had covered all claims fairly well. General information in some paragraphs comes from a mixture of sources and is hard to cite. Pkeets (talk) 04:36, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Added fact tags in the article to point out where they are needed. Just put a citation after each fact, and multiple ones in paragraphs are easier to track that way. :) Currency also needs clarification. --LauraHale (talk) 13:56, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I supplied the references, so I guess it's set to go. Pkeets (talk) 16:05, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
