Outcome

• @IndianBio: Hi there! I'm very surprised by the fact that you've implemented so many comments from the last GAN I've conducted, bringing the article in a very good shape. Reading through it was considerably easier than a few months ago. Little more has to be adressed before I can promote this and you can nominate the whole Rebel Heart topic for GT. I'm placing this  On hold for 7 days in order to allow you to adress the ramaining issues. Best of regards and good luck; Cartoon network freak (talk) 00:19, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
  • @Cartoon network freak: I have addressed all comments and I'm done with the article. Please check and see. :) Thanks for the wonderful review comments. —IB ^{[ Poke ]} 17:00, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
