Initial comments

I've done a quick read through a couple of times to get an overall "flavour" of the article and it appears to be at or about GA-level. I'm, now working on the detailed review, and I'll be reporting mostly "problems", if and when I find them. This might take another day or so. Pyrotec (talk) 08:51, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry, take your time. Also, thank you for reviewing it. Regards, --Lecen (talk) 11:31, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Overall summary

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

---

A comprehensive, well-referenced, article.

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   There are several instances of nouns not starting with a capital letter - Emperor - being one, when a specific Emperor is being discussed. I've corrected some, but possible not all.

   B. MoS compliance:

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   Well referenced.

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   Well referenced.

   C. No original research:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   B. Focused:

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

• I'm awarding this article GA-status. Congratulations on producing a fine article.

• While it is not a GA-requirement, but it tends to be a WikiProject requirement, this article would benefit from a Info box. There is one, {{Infobox royalty}}, for instance, in Pedro I of Brazil that could be copied across and the data amended.
• I see from the See also section that this is one of a series on Pedro II of Brazil, I've now awarded GA-status to two of them, perhaps a navigation box could be used to indicate the series rather than the See also listing.
