  • Article is not of sufficient length. Per guidelines: "the prose portion is at least 1500 characters", article is at 1250. Nikthestoned 12:03, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
  • I know it's nit-picking but it's still at 1484 characters... Wikipedia:DYKCHECK will tell you the length of the prose, in case you need to check in the future! Is there any way you can source the 'confusion in classification' with an on-line source also? It's not a problem if not, just like to be able to conclusively confirm the main point of the hook, if at all possible! Cheers, Nikthestoned 14:37, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
  • Blah. It is a JSTOR source In actu (Guerillero) | My Talk 14:50, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
  • - Article length is all good, newness etc are fine. AGF on the sourcing. QPQ complete. Hook interesting and short enough. Nikthestoned 14:54, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
