Thanks, I did the two remaining ones to pass the article. Not sure if you missed them but I didn't think they were that big of a deal, so I took care of them myself. Thanks for the interesting article. Congratulations. ComputerJA (☎ • ✎) 04:26, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers for reviewing this, I'm glad the subject interested you. I intended to fix the other concerns you raised but I didn't have time last night. I'll sort out the "That's it for you, Tom." ref. I'm planning on doing some more work to get it up to FA status, so your work is appreciated. Thanks for the barnstar! Bald Boris 10:56, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
