5x expanded by Anthul (talk). Self nominated at 15:19, 31 July 2014 (UTC).


 * Comment - Not a review, but just to mention that the article is a nice first-time effort by a university physics student. Editor's user page explains his involvement with WP— Maile (talk) 15:35, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Expansion and date of expansion are fine. Thoroughly cited. Neutral. No QPQ review required. The text is close to some of the sources on technical details, but this is probably unavoidable. If a passing astrophysicist/cosmologist/crime-fighter (the last one is just in case somebody tries to steal my purse and not required or useful for the review) could check that would be helpful, but otherwise I'm tempted to give it a tick anyway. Hook is fine and cited but I removed the initialisations as they aren't necessary here. Belle (talk) 16:23, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Belle. Passing astrophysicist/cosmologist here (not sure how good my crime-fighting abilities are, though, sorry). ;-) I've been supervising Anthul offline as he's worked on this article, so I've been checking it as it's been written and providing guidance as needed, and all is good. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 16:37, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

See above (Hey, that's my purse! Stop thief! Great. Thanks a lot, Mike) Belle (talk) 17:01, 31 July 2014 (UTC) Random non-tick symbol to prevent it being promoted by accident (distracted pedestrian knocks ladder away from prep-builder who is forced to grab onto window sill with both hands and drops nomination onto top of lorry headed for the queue; that sort of thing). Belle (talk) 01:16, 2 August 2014 (UTC) Ready to go again. (I still haven't got my purse back though) Belle (talk) 13:43, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
 * We've received some comments on the article this eve from one of the people that worked on the experiment. It would be good if we can deal with them before the article appears in the DYK section. We'll work through them early next week. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 21:02, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Article has been improved based on the aforementioned comments, should be ready to go now. Anthul (talk) 13:17, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
