Hello, I am going to review this article as part of the October GA backlog drive. I should be done within a week. Kimikel (talk) 02:10, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Eric Schucht: Unfortunately, I am going to quickfail this article. There are numerous instances of copyright violation and close paraphrasing present in the article. According to WP:QF, a good article nomination is eligible for quick failure if it contains copyright violations. This article contains multiple; some are more egregious than others, but it is indisputable that they are indeed violations. Listed below are six examples I found, where chunks of sentences, or entire sentences, are lifted from sources with minimal changes. I recommend that you resubmit this article after finding ways to format that information that is not in violation of the previously linked criteria.
