Good job on this article. Put it on featured nomination in a little while. Thouroghly sourced, large article with wide view, lots of images. Good Job!!

I think it's important to point out that entire paragraphs are still unsourced. This is something that should be dealt with before the article is promoted to GA status, so placing the nomination on hold would have been a good idea. GaryColemanFan (talk) 15:42, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. I'll make sure everything is sourced. Outdawg (talk) 16:22, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Also note that it is generally against status quo to delete sections from an article's talk page - including GA reviews that are not the most current. To avoid confusion between the old and new, it would have been better to archive the talk page, not delete the outdated sections. Additionally, the previous GA, despite the fact that the article ultimately passed in a second GAN, should be listed in the ArticleHistory banner in addition to the newer, successful one. Congrats on GA and good luck at FAC! 75.40.94.244 (talk) 21:04, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
