Talk:History of rail transport in Great Britain/GA1

GA Review

Initial review.

I will do a full review in time, but to start with I have some significant concerns. However, they can be easily rectified, so I will place the article on hold, and hope they can be quickly addressed.

• Lead. The lead is far too short per WP:LEAD and does not contain any appropriate information. It needs to sum up the entire article.
• References. There are a lot of general references at the bottom of the article, but few inline ones. Many of those general references don't appear to be actually cited in the inline section.
• Length. Over time, this article could easily become a featured article of great importance. But for such a significant and wide-ranging topic, I think the article is very short.

Let me know what you think, and I'll come back to help out with a fuller review. Peanut4 (talk) 12:41, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
