• Offline sources accepted in good faith. Spot check shows no copyvios, well-referenced, length and date are good. Minor niggle and completely optional: lead needs a bit of expansion. This isn't GA review I know, but a single sentence looks a bit lonely :P Perhaps include a bit of the description of the plot?-- Obsidi♠n Soul 01:59, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
