Thank you for nominating this article as one that may meet the Good Article Criteria. As you will see I have placed the article on hold at this time.
I prefer to give as reasonable amount of feedback as is possible in the case of on-hold and failed nominations. Please do not take the on hold too badly – the article is on its way and just needs to gain a bit of serious concentration throughout to reach the stage of a pass..
To assist in this process I normally also suggest that as each adjustment is made, that editors place the template {{done}} after each part that is completed as this will provide all editors with a guide of what is completed in this fashion. Done
These are not all of the areas that could do with improvement so can I suggest that you please spend the appropriate amount of time carefully proof-reading the article – and once you are totally happy please let me know and I will reassess. As always the system gives you 2 – 7 days to achieve these adjustments but in some extraordinary circumstances a few extra days can be made available. Please let me know directly on my talk page if you need that extra time. Also if you have any other questions please come to my talk page and I will try my best to answer or assist.

As nothing's happened for a couple of days, I've had a go at copyediting the article in line with the above comments - hope you don't mind. A couple of points:

I'll have a look at the last section tomorrow. Regards EyeSerene TALK 21:39, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
final part of copyedit:
I've finished going through the article - only one comment on the last section: I added that the morale-boosting nature of Ritchie's VC was Snelling's speculation (we have no way of proving this other that a direct quote from the Admiralty, which would be rather unlikely!). I'm assuming this is down to Snelling though - if not, please correct as you see fit. I've also marked the GA reviewer's comments as addressed. EyeSerene TALK 10:57, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
Thankyou very much for your hard work on this piece, it is very much appreciated. I have attempted to address your questions above, I don't have the Snelling book on me at the moment but I think your changes are correct. I appreciate your hard work and will notify the original reviewer and see if he will pass this as a GA.-- Jackyd101 12:51, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. The article history has been updated to reflect this review.

Henry Peel Ritchie was the first naval VC recipient of the First World War. As explained in the article the VC was not gazetted for nearly six months. I have therefore added a footnote that the second VC award 15 days later to Norman Douglas Holbrook was the first gazetted. The date of presentation was 24 April 1915 not 25 November 1916 as originally appeared in the article. It would seem that some references have confused Henry Peel Ritchie with Walter Potter Ritchie who did receive his Victoria Cross from King George V on 25 November 1916 see The Times, Court Circular, 27 November 1916, p.11. I also amended the citation at the bottom of the page from The London Gazette 9 April 1915 to Supplement to The London Gazette 10 April 1915. Anthony Staunton ( talk) 06:57, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
