Reviewer: Droodkin (talk · contribs) 22:27, 25 August 2012 (UTC) Alright, I'll be starting the review. Since the article is a pretty long one, this is going to take a while so have patience. So let's get started! --Droodkin (talk) 22:27, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Update: Okay, finished reading and here's the review. GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

   There are some personal pronouns (all of which are "we") which could pose a problem as per WP:TONE. However, in my view, it is acceptable (following WP:IAR.) Also, unnecessary capitalisations of words in mid-sentence (like "as an Artillery fort" in the Architecture section) are present.

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   All links are working, no dead links. The article is sufficiently cited with books.

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   C. No original research:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   B. Focused:

   All major aspects that I expected were included.

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

   No bias, as far as I can see. It's neutral.

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

   Choice of images are good and relevant to their respective sections.

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   This article passes the requirements for WP:GA, congratulations.
