As the founder of WP:BDT, I'm particularly interested in this one. It's also classed as a high-importance article for the project! JAGUAR 16:59, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
- The lead should mention that St Helena is a British Overseas Territory
- I think an expansion of the History section is paramount as at the moment this article doesn't meet the "broad in coverage" criterion. The History of Saint Helena article might aid you in this, and I'm surprised that there isn't anything on the 19th century, or the Second World War, or Napoleon's exile!
- "It houses much of the island's infrastructure, such as its power station and its associated fuel storage" - remove second 'its'
- "mostly from the British Georgian-era" - remove 'British' here
- ref 9 is unformatted
- Ref 1 is missing a publisher and/or a website
- Ref 10 is dead
- No DAB links
This article is short and I think the history section is lacking in content, and could therefore benefit from a slight expansion (nothing much, just something that covers events after the 17th century). I'll leave this on hold and will check back later!

- There's really not much info available on the town after Napoleon, but I've added whatever I could glean. See how it suits and thanks for reviewing this so quickly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 02:06, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
- I understand. Thanks for expanding the history section though, it's looking a lot better! Without further ado I'll pass this as it meets the GA criteria. Good work

@Sturmvogel 66: The lede could use another paragraph to summarise the lower sections and I would expect to see an Economy section.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:02, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
- Another paragraph in the lede would be fairly pointless. All it would say is that there's one school, several churches, etc. And a paragraph for the economy would be normal, but this is an island without much of an economy. They don't even do any significant fishing as far as I can tell.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:26, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
