Hi, I am reviewing this article for GA. So far it looks fine. I have a few suggestions listed in the comments below. —

Perhaps we should ask about this at one of relevant talk pages and get some consensus. I couldn't find anything at any of those pages which would offer guidance. Daniel Case ( talk) 16:41, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Including page numbers
If you are quoting from, paraphrasing, or referring to a specific passage of a book or article, you should if possible also cite the page number(s) of that passage. In the case of books, the edition of the book should also be included because pagination can change between editions. Page numbers are especially important in case of lengthy unindexed books. Page numbers within a book or article are not required when a citation is for a general description of a book or article, or when a book or article, as a whole, is being used to exemplify a particular point of view.
Inline citations
In most cases, an inline citation is required in addition to the full citation. This shows which specific part of the article a citation is being applied to. Inline citations are mandated by Wikipedia's featured article criteria and (to a lesser extent) the good article criteria. They are particularly appropriate for supporting statements of fact and are needed for statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, including contentious material about living persons, and for all quotations.
