2 little things to keep the GA tag. First, expand the lead. Secondly, remove the nowadays and bring it a bit more NPOV. Lincher 13:58, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Big improvement here. Can the Worshipful Company etc. by wikilinked? I expect it'll be a bluelink. Not sure about including the name of the current warden - I'm generally wary of including details, even down to the name, of largely non-notable living people.
I'd still be interested to know if this hostel is signed up to any particular rating system for quality of accommodation. And the revenues estimate of 2-4 million is weird - was this an estimate by a Wikipedian, from other sources? TheGrappler 14:03, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
So, all done. Any other help you (or anyone else) can provide? I'll go for re-FAC soon, then. Wim van Dorst ( Talk) 00:21, 15 July 2006 (UTC).
Thanks, TheGrappler, for these furthering thoughts. Accepted in great appreciation.
Having done these improvements, I plan to re-nominate the article for FA again. Having incorporated so many of your good proposals, I optimistically expect that you'll support the nomination now. Wim van Dorst ( Talk) 20:50, 15 July 2006 (UTC).
Dear fellow contributors
MOSNUM no longer encourages date autoformatting, having evolved over the past year or so from the mandatory to the optional after much discussion there and elsewhere of the disadvantages of the system. Related to this, MOSNUM prescribes rules for the raw formatting, irrespective of whether or not dates are autoformatted. MOSLINK and CONTEXT are consistent with this.
There are at least six disadvantages in using date-autoformatting, which I've capped here:
Removal has generally been met with positive responses by editors. I'm seeking feedback about this proposal to remove it from the main text (using a script) in about a week's time on a trial basis/ The original input formatting would be seen by all WPians, not just the huge number of visitors; it would be plain, unobtrusive text, which would give greater prominence to the high-value links.

Many of the references were last accessed over two years ago, and some are now not working. It needs someone who knows more about it than me to fix it. In particular the ScoutBase references have problems, but I added one that covers the re-openning and commented out the one that was not working. -- Bduke ( talk) 05:07, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

As part of the FA sweeps of old FAs, I've taken another look at this article to ensure continued compliance with the featured article criteria. I believe there are some issues that would need to be addressed to retain its status:
