I'll start reading over the next few days and then begin to make comments. I am normally a slow reviewer - if that is likely to be a problem, please let me know now. I tend to directly do copy-editing and minor improvements, though if there is a lot of work needed I may suggest getting a copy-editor. Anything more significant than minor improvements I will raise here. I see the reviewer's role as collaborative and collegiate, so I welcome discussion regarding interpretation of the criteria.

This is a well researched and well organised article complying with GA criteria. Only minor attention needed to copyediting, layout and the lead (WP:Lead gives good advice regarding the lead section. As a rough rule, check that there is some form of summary of the main points of each section). This was a fairly easy article to review. Well done! SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 09:21, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
