Starting first read-through. More shortly, Tim riley talk 09:39, 31 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

After first read-through for spelling etc: only two queries – "cajouled" and "Appollo". Substantive comments to follow. Tim riley talk 10:26, 31 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Both fixed. Eric Corbett 13:20, 31 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Detailed comments

edit

Not much to detain us here. This is a fine article, and clearly of GA standard. Just a few minor points before I cut the ribbon:

  • Single quotes
    • If I correctly understand the Manual of Style, we use double quotes as default in e.g. "Captain" Thomas Matthews, and "The Romance of Sheridan and Miss Linley".
  • Lead
    • "Whig" – the OED capitalises the word when used in the political sense. Our Wikipedia article does too. And the word is capitalised at one point in this article.

That's all I can find to quibble about. This is an excellent and enjoyable article, and I look forward to promoting it to GA. – Tim riley talk 12:15, 31 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Eric, thank you very much for stepping into the breach in the present disagreeable and sad circumstances. Sagagaciousphil has been kind enough to explain to me what has been going on and why that fine editor has retired hurt – temporarily, let us hope. Focusing on this review, I am now satisfied that the article meets the GA criteria, and I have much pleasure in promoting it to GA. I'm most grateful to you for helping to get it there. I shall keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't turn out to a swan song by our excellent colleague. – Tim riley talk 16:01, 31 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Tim. I would have done it anyway, but Sagaciousphil asked me to address the issues you raised, so I didn't try to usurp her efforts, which I have the greatest of respect for. All I can add is that it won't be her swan song if I've got anything to do with it. Eric Corbett 16:21, 31 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
