 * Symbol possible vote.svg Article has been created within 5 days of the nomination. But there are a few comments to fix. First off, the sentence at the end of the lead is not mentioned in the article, so it is unsourced. The bullet list under the section "Detection and access" should not have the ref on the last bullet, the ref should be moved after the colon before, symbolizing that it supports the whole list. When these are fixed the article should be good to go. Oh, and I would go with the original, not ALT1. IJReid (talk) 14:21, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Both issues are taken care of. Sentence at the end of the lead is now mentioned in the article and sourced.  Moved the ref at the colon to back up where it supports the whole list. — Maile  (talk) 20:15, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
