I'm glad to see your work here. I do have some insights based on the above checklist that I think will improve the article:

  • I think the lead can be improved in order to provide an accessible overview and to give relative emphasis.


Besides that, I think the article looks excellent. You've done great work, and I am quite happy to assist you in improving it. All the best, --Seabuckthorn ♥ 02:39, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@JG66: --Seabuckthorn ♥ 15:42, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi JG66! I hope you are watching this page and have not forgotten about this article. As a gentle reminder, I'm putting the article on hold. I hope you don't mind. All the best! --Seabuckthorn ♥ 01:58, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ah sorry Seabuckthorn, I thought you'd be watching the article also, but I should have replied here anyway. I've made a few changes there. It's a tough one: I'm thinking some further cuts might be necessary in the main text, and/or I should completely rewrite the lead from scratch … Any thoughts on progress so far would be very welcome! Best, JG66 (talk) 02:04, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again. I've done a bit more work on the lead without resorting to the more drastic steps mentioned above. I really think that's all I can do (that is, unless I start deleting points from the main text). I appreciate your patience through all this – what do you think of the lead as it is now? JG66 (talk) 04:34, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! It's okay, no need to be sorry. You're right. I should watch articles also. Apologies. The lead looks perfect now. Thanks! --Seabuckthorn ♥ 06:49, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Seabuckthorn. Great news … (and a fair amount of relief!). It's good to get another one up there. Take care, JG66 (talk) 07:08, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Promoting the article to GA status. --Seabuckthorn ♥ 06:49, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
