[edit] GA review

GA review

[edit] Passed

Congratulations to all involved for your efforts on this article over the past fortnight, I have passed this article. It is of sufficiently broad in coverage, reasonably well-written, and adequately (though not perfectly) verified. I think it has enough in terms of content and breadth to be a strong candidate for featured status, but still does not read perfectly in the WP house style for my perhaps over-sensitive ears. Stricutres of no original research and attribution are more difficult to honour for literary topics where so much of the article consists in interpretation, but this is a surmountable difficulty. I recommend submitting to peer review, and wish you all the best of luck. Regards, Skomorokh 16:47, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Additional comments

Article is mostly there, though there are a few minor issues that remain and should be fixed.

• A couple of manual of style issues; some unnecessary bold text in paragraphs, some dates need to be properly formatted and wiki-linked, etc. I would recommend a good copyedit by an editor that is familiar with the manual of style.
• The lead section is very long. See if you can shorten it a bit, keeping it to a good summary of the article.

Other than that, the article is very good. Cheers! Dr. Cash (talk) 18:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
