You must review another article to pass the QPQ requirement. Still haven't check the article yet completely, although the article looks too choppy. --George Ho (talk) 05:25, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

One issue resolved. I'm not sure how plants make this place notable, but I bet another reviewer can be capable more than I. --George Ho (talk) 22:14, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

- chiming in: I see an independent source, but not for the hook fact. Any chance? Or a different fact? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:05, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

- Is it right that it is their own website? I try to avoid those as refs, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:12, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
- If it was something remarkable or positive sounding then yes I wouldn't use it, but it is a pretty mundane fact so I don't see a problem...but you may want a third opinion on that. Casliber (talk · contribs) 00:24, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
