Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Review meta comments

• I'll begin the review as soon as I can! If you fancy returning the favour, I have a list of nominations for review at WP:GAN and WP:FAC, respectively. I'd be very grateful if you were to complete one of these if you get time. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:19, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Lee, I will get to these comments but as you can tell, the article wasn't quite as good as I had thought, so there's plenty to do. I'll pick the issues off one at a time and get back to you when I'm properly done. Thanks for the review. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 21:31, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Never a hurry for you, friend. There is quite a bit to do, and I know you've got a lot on. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:06, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi The Rambling Man, any chance I can close this one? Or were you planning on updating the article? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:35, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Lee Vilenski yes, fail it please. I was far too optimistic that work I'd done a decade ago was up to today's standards! Cheers. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 09:03, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for understanding. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:32, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
