This article is being nominated a second time after taking some much needed advice and assistance. Substantial expansion (while eliminating potential bias) was done, and an editor from The Guild of Copy Editors did some fantastic work. The first FAC asked for some good sourcing and I can now say that even a published paper was used for the relatively young subject. I don't think there are any issues remaining but am stoked to take care of any issues.

 * I think it looks good overall. My one complaint would be the intro is a little long. Stevetauber (talk) 19:54, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I feared the opposite since the lead is a relatively short summary. I would be happy to take action if you see anything in particular that seems like too much.Cptnono (talk) 05:28, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Take a look at WP:LEADLENGTH. The article is 13kb of prose, which normally would warrant one to two paragraphs.  Four paragraphs for an article of this length would require remarkable justification. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 08:28, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Closing comment -- Sorry but this review seems to be almost a non-starter, so I'll be archiving it shortly. Given the lack of feedback, no issue with you renominating in less than the usual two-week waiting period. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 15:28, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
