Reviewer: HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 01:34, 22 August 2010 (UTC) Okay, i'll have a read through it and then I'll have some initial comments for you. :) HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 01:34, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

My immediate thoughts are that it's not long enough and doesn't really meet WP:LEAD. The lead is supposed to provide a summary of the article—think of it as the whole article, just condensed to about a fifth of the size as opposed to an introduction
All resolved. Great work

All in all, this is an informative article, nicely write, well illustrated and well laid-out. The only major concern is the comprehensiveness, but I feel it's sufficient to meet the GA criteria. That would be your biggest issue if you were to take this onto FAC. It could also do with a head-to-toe copy edit by someone with a fresh pair of eyes. The prose is good on the whole, but it gets choppy in places and would struggle to meet criterion 1a for FA, but I'm happy it meets the equivalent 1a of the GA criteria, which is an easier standard to meet. If more information were found and you wished to take it further, I'd recommend a peer review and seeking the opinions of experienced content reviewers as well as editors who have been involved with FAs on similar topics. It may also help to find an FA on a similar topic so you can compare and contrast and see what work would need to be done. There's no reason why, with a little hard work, it couldn't get a star in the not-too-distant future and I'd be happy to assist in any way I can. Meanwhile, I'm inclined to promote the article to GA status once the above 2 points have been addressed, but I'll seek a second opinion from another experienced GA reviewer since I was invited to review the article, though I don;t foresee any major issues coming up.

I'm satisfied that all concerns raised above have been resolved and that this article meets the GA criteria, so I'm happy to pass it. :) HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:10, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
