GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:  
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:  
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:  
    B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:  
    C. It contains no original research:  
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:  
    There's no evidence of COPYVIO; I'll be looking for plagiarism while I'm going through the sources. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:45, 23 January 2017 (UTC) All good here. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:18, 3 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:  
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):  
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:  
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:  
    Editing has been slow since December; certianly no edit warring here. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:45, 23 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:  
    All images are CC-licensed. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:45, 23 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:  
    Captions are fine. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:45, 23 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:  
    This is a well-done article and the first where I didn't have a laundry list of issues to be fixed. I only had the delay of waiting for the inter-library loan books arriving. Other than that, everything is as it ought to be. I would recommend using {{GBP}} in the future so that it allows conversion to other currencies where appropriate as well as depicting how much a pound sterling in 1927 costs now. I'd also have preferred use of {{Sfn}} with many of these citations. Neither of those suggestions matter for this review but I'd fix those ahead of a MILHIST A-class review. I did also notice that the geo-coordinates are about 100ft off but I guess that can't be helped. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:18, 3 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
