  • Comment: The article needs to be neutral - lay off the adjectives and the big statements!

  • Comment: This still needs all additional major news publications, but no press releases, trivial passing mentions, interviews and business journals (as these are simply local news stories); focus with actual major news publications. SwisterTwister talk 21:02, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
