GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose is "clear and concise", without copyvios, or spelling and grammar errors:

   1. "enrollment" should be "enrolment"
   2. "Sittaung" or "Sittang" ?
   3. Initials should have stops after them.

   B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

   The "famous quotations" section is unnecessary. If these quotes are truly notable, they should be integrated into the body to provide context and flow. Suggest moving to WikiQuote

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. Has an appropriate reference section:

   1. Three broken links
   2. Footnote 1 needs a reference
   3. Footnote 2 needs publisher, date
   4. So does 29
   5. London Gazette reference is wrong
   6. Article still has citation required tags on it
   7. Where do the promotion days come from (not from the cited source)?

   B. Cites reliable sources, where necessary:

   C. No original research:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   Still lacking in details, which is strange for someone with a number of books written about him

   1. When was he married?
   2. What children did he have?
   3. What are his other decorations?

   B. Focused (see summary style):

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:

   Statue pic could use a FoP tag

   B. Images are provided if possible and are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   I am failing this article's GA nomination, due mainly to the referencing deficiencies and other concerns raised during the previous GA nomination, which have not been addressed. These upgrades will take a significant amount of work, and are best completed outside of the time constrains of the GA process. When the above concerns have been addressed, and not before, the article can be renominated at GAN.
