Comments after first read-through: mightily impressive. Detailed comments after my second read-through, but I haven't seen anything so far to stop this article from being promoted. Tim riley (talk) 10:15, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Images: all look fine and properly accounted for, but they lack Alt Text. This isn't a prerequisite for GA (or even FA at the moment, I believe) but is good practice, for the benefit of blind and visually-restricted users who make use of screen readers. It would be good if you could add a few words to each image caption, using "alt= description text". More later. Tim riley (talk) 12:53, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

I found this an interesting and instructive article to review. (In passing, it is, as far as I can recall, the first article I have run across at GA, peer review or FAC in which I could find absolutely no typos or other minor faults.) In my opinion this article could be a worthy candidate for WP:FAC. For the moment, however, it is a pleasure to affirm its GA-status. Tim riley (talk) 11:31, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
