Initial comments

 * After a quick couple of read throughs, this appears to be a reasonably-comprehensive, well-referenced article of about GA-standard. In passing, I think that the WP:Lead needs a bit of work done; but I normally leave the review of the lead until last, so I will delay any detailed comments on that until I've completed my review of the main body of the article.


 * I will now carry out a more detailed review. Pyrotec (talk) 20:31, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
