Sorry for the delay, been extremely busy lately. I really don't see much wrong with the article, images are free, no close paraphrasing concerns, sources match the information. So passing. Secret ^account 23:32, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Don't worry about the delay. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:09, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
