Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	Check if the weasel word "apparently" is needed in the sentence "He saw MacLachlan pull back the canopy but apparently changed his mind about bailing out as the aircraft leveled out and descended" US spelling of "enamored"
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	Overlinking: in lead: Distinguished Flying Cross, fighter pilot, Distinguished Service Order main body: Shilling, Air Vice-Marshal, Heinkel He 111, Bath, Somerset, Supermarine Spitfires, Kampfgeschwader 26, Pound sign, Gibraltar, Mess, Seine
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	currently, both 10 and 13 digit ISBN formats are used, please unify
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	No citation for the first DFC in section "Honours and awards"
	2c. it contains no original research.
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
	7. Overall assessment.	I removed the remaining overlinks. Good job MisterBee1966 (talk) 09:30, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
