Hi, I'll review this shortly. MathewTownsend (talk) 00:05, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
GA review-see WP:WIAGA for criteria (and here for what they are not)
- Is it reasonably well written?
- A. Prose: clear and concise, correct spelling and grammar:

- A. Provides references to all sources:
- Is it broad in its coverage?
- A. Main aspects are addressed:
- Article lacks any sense of the subject's personality or style, or specifics of his riding abilities.
- I have a suggestion. Since the article is a little dry - no images - nothing about his personality, riding style etc., it would help to give quotes by others about him. e.g. from [2] which has a number of quotes by others (or by him) that give a flavor of his riding style and insight into his effect on others.
- This would also give the article a dimension that is missing: there is no "feel" for the man.
- A. Main aspects are addressed:
-
- B. Remains focused:
- B. Remains focused:

- Thanks for the review, Mathew! I am just about to leave the house, but will work on these suggestions when I get back this evening. Dana boomer (talk) 15:35, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
- Hi again Mathew - I have looked over your edits and they look good. Between User:Montanabw and I, I think we have cooked up a paragraph (which I have put in the "Other" section for now) about his personality. Let us know if this was what you had in mind, or if you think there is a better place in the article for this information. Thanks, Dana boomer (talk) 02:13, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
- All problems fixed. I changed the heading to "Influence" but if you don't like that, feel free to change it back.
- Article PASS! MathewTownsend (talk) 20:26, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
- Influence is good - I wasn't really fond of "Other" but didn't have any bright ideas for what to change it to. Thanks again for the review and pass! Dana boomer (talk) 20:45, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
