John Ashley Kilvert
[edit]
- ... that John Ashley Kilvert (pictured) survived the Charge of the Light Brigade in the Crimean War, but the medals which Queen Victoria presented to him disappeared?
Created by Pigsonthewing (talk). Nominated by Gerda Arendt (talk) at 22:18, 26 October 2013 (UTC).
Article is new enough (created 25 October), it also well over 1500 characters in prose. It is furthermore neutral, cites sources with inline citations and seems free of copyrightvios. I like the hook, it's interesting and also within the length limit (169 characters). The different parts of the hook are a bit spread out over the text, but it all checks out for as far I can see. That Kilvert participitated in the Charge of the Light Brigade, won medals for it and that they were lost can be checked in the third source. I'll AGF for the rewarding by Queen Victoria for the non-accesible source number one. The article is overall very well cited. I'm not sure on what to think of the images. I hope someone with more experience is able to review them. If they check out this one will be good to go. QPQ is not needed as it is not a self-nom.- One other concern is the title as mentioned in the article: Alderman John Ashley Kilvert JP. I guess the Alderman can be dropped, or at least not be bolded. I'm also not sure what JP means. Justice of the Peace? It is not mentioned anywhere in the article.

- I don't know more about the titles, let's ask the author, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:26, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
- I've clarified that JP means that the was a magistrate (Justice of the Peace). There's no reason to remove or unembolden his title. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:55, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
Images need reviewing per the above. Removed the final comma in the hook. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:12, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
The image is fine, and all the rest is fine and an interesting life is described. Thanks Andy Victuallers (talk) 19:48, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
