I will need a second opinion on this article because in the references section, all the references are reliable sources expect one, which is a Internet post. I don't whether to let that through or not. Philroc (talk) 17:42, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Not to mention, since I am the recruiter I am supposed to help him out. It's all right he decided for a second opinion, I wanted to say that the lead doesn't accurately summarize the article and nor is the vice versa true. So, GA nominator, do the changes. -- Ankit Maity «T § C» «Review Me»   11:34, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Whoops! Section 2b is actually a fail because there are still "citation needed" templates scattered across the article, and the situtaion talked about previously. Thus, I am changing this articles status from second opinion status to on hold status. Philroc (talk) 11:53, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Changed some. Address tags and correct the lead. Recruitee, you are requested to check out the GA review script and perform the checks accordingly. I noticed that you missed the first and most important part of MoS i.e. the lead. -- Ankit Maity  «T § C» «Review Me»   12:48, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Can we please just get this over with? Philroc (talk) 11:54, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * On hold requires you to wait atleast 7 days. You put this article on hold at 11:53 13 Jan. So, mate you gotta hold till 20th. -- Ankit Maity «T § C» «Review Me»   15:28, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Can I review another article during that time? Philroc (talk) 19:33, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Of course. But only one more. As that is a GARC process. After that, I am gonna have to show you a very detailed GA review. -- Ankit Maity «T § C» «Review Me»   11:21, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by "After that, I am gonna have to show you a very detailed GA review"? Philroc (talk) 12:00, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

By that, I refer to the GA review that I am gonna do, so that you can see the closest details. It's a compulsory GARC step. It was supposed to be done before but sadly you went and did this review. Still, you seem to be on the right track. -- Ankit Maity «T § C» «Review Me»   14:23, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
 * The second article I reviewed passed. Philroc (talk) 19:54, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Nobody improved the article within the 7 days that I held the article for. Thus, I am Failing this article. Philroc (talk) 15:08, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi and, thanks for reviewing the article. Given the terse grading above and the extended exchange in which I gather something wasn't done correctly, I am bit unsure as to the next steps. My understanding is that for the article to regain GA status, the following would need to be addressed: It seems like there might be other issues, but I cannot tell for sure. Do you have any further comments or helpful advice? Thanks, --Mark viking (talk) 01:46, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The lead needs to better summarize the content of the article
 * The citation needed tags need proper references
 * Well, one reference of this article is an Internet post. Philroc (talk) 11:34, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
