 * Will review this, comments to follow. Mark Arsten (talk) 03:44, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Very interesting article, must be a lot of fun to work on. Unfortunately, at first glance, this will require quite a bit of work to reach GA quality. Here are a few of the major issues:
 * 1) Citations: A lot of the article is lacking citations. There should be at least one citation per paragraph.
 * 2) Of the citations that are present, checklinks is showing that about 15 or so are dead. I'm skeptical of the reliability of some of the others, a couple links are to wordpress blogs, which are probably not reliable.
 * 3) Another major issue is the prose quality. It looks like it will need a lot of copyediting to reach GA quality. Also, one sentence paragraphs really break the flow, these should be organized into larger paragraphs.


 * This doesn't meet the quickfail standards, so I'm willing to leave this open for the customary week, although it will take a lot of work to get it there. Mark Arsten (talk) 03:56, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure if anyone's willing to tackle this, but if they are, there are a LOT of unacceptable source &mdash; allkpop, soshified, and Soompi aren't allowed under WP:RS. They're all blogs. :T The biggest issue with Allkpop is that there's a disclaimer on the site that essentially says nothing can be taken as fact there. SKS (talk) 04:05, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing that out, interesting, hope someone can did up some better sources. Mark Arsten (talk) 04:50, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
