DYK rules require that a fact be cited directly (at the end of the sentence, not paragraph). This is also good practice in general as otherwise it is difficult for people to know which refs support which facts. Please adjust the article's citation style accordingly. Also, the last paragraph really leaves the reader hanging. It lists two problems that had to be overcome, but gives no indication of what was done to resolve them.--ThaddeusB (talk) 04:13, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
- I've added in the extra refs. We don't know how the issues in the last para were resolved as they haven't told the media. One document has a vague reference to "politics". They seem to have used a turnkey broker to launch the thing - I'm guessing they handled most of that. Secretlondon (talk) 12:47, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
