 * I've converted the bare ICS 2004 to a linked reference to the ICS 2008 timescale, is this what you were after? (I know it doesn't address your concerns about citing in general) Mikenorton (talk) 21:52, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, thank you. If I had realized someone would respond so quickly I would have put it on hold. But there are still other issues, such as lack of paragraphs, holding it back. GA standards have improved, and citations are necessary at every step. Each paragraph needs at least one cite, and usually involve three or more. Facts need to be checked and insured that they are correct. You can't rely upon facts in other WP articles because they have not been checked in this review. Each article must stand on its own, with complete references. You don't need to cite that the sky is blue but someone from another planet might not believe you. Sometimes obvious facts are not so obvious. I still would suggest a renomination, just to insure a thorough review. -- ErgoSum • talk • trib  00:01, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
