Second review completed

I've added a citation needed tag for the final sentence of the article, which is not sourced. Other than that, the article is well written, and meets the normal DYK requirements. I do not perceive any promotional issues with the text. Sasata (talk) 05:21, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

OK, I've added a citation and a bit more related info. Prioryman (talk) 07:07, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
