 * Symbol question.svg Drmies, fantastic little article. You need a QPQ still (as you know) and there's a gaping hole in the article: how did the text get handed down to us? Are there any witness manuscripts, or was it reconstructed from oral tradition? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:19, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks Crisco. Yeah, after nap time. I filled in that blank a little bit: the short answer is yes, there is a copious textual tradition--the short edit was made, and it gives you the publication/edition history going back to Erasmus. Will that suffice for now? Drmies (talk) 18:14, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Excellent. Just waiting on that QPQ now. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:23, 11 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Reminder ping to Drmies: QPQ still pending, and should be completed soon. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:12, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reminder, BlueMoonset. Done. Drmies (talk) 14:36, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg QPQ checks out. Article is new enough and long enough at the time of nomination. Article appears to be neutral, sourcing looks good. No copyvio or close paraphrasing found. Hook fact etc. are fine. Good to go! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:15, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
