I went ahead and requested a second opinion on the article even though I am the nominator. It seemed that the reviewer requested it here but failed to add it to the GA banner of the article's talk page. Again, I thank
Albacore (
talk·contribs) for their review. I just think it would be better to have a user more knowledgeable in the GA process give it a second review. —

User:Albacore left a message on my user talk page and requested for a 2nd opinion on this GA review. I don't mind doing it but currently there is an
ArbCom case going on (which I am uninvolved) which could put me in an awkward position if I take up this 2nd opinion review. I'll rather sit around and wait for that ArbCom case's to finish before making a final decision on whether to review this article or not. Please consider this review as "on hold".
