All have been covered I believe. 
After thoroughly reviewing this article, I have decided to put it on hold at this time. I will give you the general seven days to fix these issues and/or address issues which you believe do not affect good article status. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

While you addressed the issues above, you need to proofread the references section for issues, which I can still see for references past the first twenty. Once you have those issues fixed, then I will feel confident passing the article. Rp0211 (talk2me) 19:43, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
I have gone through the entire reference section thoroughly and have corrected quite a few things, if there is anything I have missed instruct me further to correct. Bruce Campbell (talk) 21:10, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Awesome job with correcting the issues with the "References" section. Now that all issues have been addressed, I feel confident passing this article. Congratulations and keep up the good work! Rp0211 (talk2me) 21:28, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
