Hi Eddie, I'll be glad to take this one. Sorry you've had to wait so long for a review. Comments to follow in the next 1-5 days. -- Khazar2 ( talk) 03:22, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. I'll be here. EddieHugh ( talk) 10:10, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
Okay, on first pass, this looks quite good. The prose is good, the sources look solid, and it appears to be comprehensive and neutral. I'll do a more detailed source check in a minute. I made small changes as I went; feel free to revert any with which you disagree. Here's a few small points I couldn't immediately fix myself that I'd appreciate your thoughts on:
Oh, and reflist|30em turns the reference list into columns (the "em" is a printer's measure of width, I believe, as in an "em-dash"). You'd have to check the MOS to see if it's required for longer articles or not, but it does make the references more accessible and compact in most displays and is common in GA or FA content. All that said, it's not required for GA, so if for any reason you want to revert, feel free. -- Khazar2 ( talk) 16:15, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for reviewing and improving it. I'll try to remember to use reflist|30em – it condenses things well. EddieHugh ( talk) 17:15, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
