  • This still needs a review. It is already in holding, although it shouldn't be. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:56, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
Sorry, didn't read the isntructions. My bad. Buggie111 (talk) 18:22, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
Procedural: I want this to be featured on October 31 due to date relevance. Buggie111 (talk) 02:05, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Hook interesting (I added "has") and cited; article was moved to mainspace on October 16 but actually started on October 12 so would have been new enough anyway; length sufficient (was 1,519 characters; after a rewrite by me is currently 1,589); referencing adequate and no plagiarism or overly close paraphrasing found; clarity and exposition were adequate but I moved things around and rewrote a bit for clarity and to get the name of the article into the first sentence, and also added a repeat of it in the last paragraph; article is neutral and covers the material adequately. Good to go; hook requires it be scheduled for Oct. 31. Yngvadottir (talk) 19:31, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
  • Article was redirected. Does that mean the nomination is withdrawn? Bar Code Symmetry (Talk) 01:29, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
In no way shape or form. HTK redirected it without discussion. I've moved it back. Buggie111 (talk) 02:47, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
