I am nominating this article for Featured Article status as I feel with much recent work carried out that it now meets the FAC criteria subject to review. A very constructive peer review at Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Peer review/Rolls-Royce R has been closed and archived with comments being actioned to the benefit of the article. I must acknowledge the tireless input of User:Red Sunset over the past few months, he has concentrated on copy editing, improvement of my grammar and formatting of the table.
If I may comment on the revision history of this article, a large unreferenced text dump was added some 18 months ago, this was pasted in by the owner of a dying website who later contacted me by e-mail as he was pleased that I was working on improving it. Recent work, on obtaining the sources that he originally used, has concentrated on improving the referencing of this information and then expanding on the remarkable human story that lay behind this apparently obscure aero engine with a strange name. A predecessor of the Rolls-Royce Merlin, I felt that the R engine deserved to have some effort expended on it. The article is stable apart from recent improvement work which has now come to a practical end. Wherever possible technical terms have been wikilinked or explained with footnotes and plain text. Many thanks. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 00:13, 17 November 2009 (UTC) reply
