  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose: clear and concise, correct spelling and grammar: 
    "Stevenson was Sir Reginald Manningham-Buller's number two" - I am unclear on the meaning here. Could you elaborate what a number two is, or what their responsibilities are?
    " It has been said that the prosecution might have had a better chance..." Can this be re-worded, so it is clearer who said it? I can't access the source.
    B. Complies with MoS for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:  
    Layout is good; referencing nicely done; lead meets requirements. I also checked for dabs.
    A. Provides references to all sources:  
    Spot checks reveal no overly close paraphrasing or copy vio; material in the sources backs up the material in the article. I also ran Checklinks to look for dead links and looked for referencing errors; no problems were found.
    B. Provides in-line citations from reliable sources where necessary:  
    All direct quotations have footnotes.
    C. No original research:  
    Opinions are those expressed in the sources.
  2. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Main aspects are addressed:  
    B. Remains focused:  
  3. Does it follow the neutral point of view policy?
    Fair representation without bias:  
  4. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:  
  5. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:  
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:  
  6. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:  
I've done some rewriting to address your concerns, see what you think. Malleus Fatuorum 02:48, 29 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
That's much better, and now meets all the GA criterion. Well done, Malleus. Did the man have any hobbies or interests outside of work? Not a GA requirement, but something to think about for FA if any supporting material can be found. Best wishes, -- Dianna (talk) 13:35, 29 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
