This article really doesn't meet current featured standards.
- no inline citations and really not much in the way of references at all
- doesn't meet criterion 2a
- doesn't feel comprehensive - I get the feeling that there's quite a bit more that could be said about the topic
- obsolete copyright tags on images
- could do with being generally reorganised, as the two-section format looks a bit odd (for one, the history section seems to start halfway through the story)

- All the problems Rebecca has touched upon do indeed need to be addressed for the article to reach current FA standards. LuciferMorgan 21:41, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- For one: I think it is unfair to change the standards midstream, especially on an article that hasn't changed much since it was FA. Second, this article is probably one of the most comprehensive on the subject in existence, anywhere. Information on this subject is VERY hard to come by as proven by the original author's need to use a Master's thesis as a source. Anything else would amount to original research. I can go fix the picture tags if you like, sonce they are all old enough that there is no copyright. —JonMoore 17:55, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- The standards have changed greatly over time, and that is the primary reason why this page exists: to remove those FAs which are no longer up to current standards. I'd be surprised if there wasn't some more that could be included in at least the three listed references (and that's assuming that there are no others); at the very list pinpoint citations and some tightening of the prose need to happen.
