Hi SyntheticSystems, thank you for reviewing the article. I've added images. Do you think any other changes are needed to the article?--Llewee (talk) 23:45, 23 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

I think you could expand the lead a little bit. SyntheticSystems (talk) 17:11, 24 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi SyntheticSystems, what do you think of the article now?--Llewee (talk) 00:39, 26 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Looks good. I think you might need page numbers for the first reference. SyntheticSystems (talk) 17:37, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

SyntheticSystems, It's quite a short paper and the relevant parts span pretty much the whole thing.--Llewee (talk) 14:40, 28 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
