I am today beginning the review process.-- — Keithbob • Talk  • 20:59, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Overall a very nicely written, well sourced article with wonderful illustrations. After the above changes are made I would be happy to give it GA status.-- — Keithbob • Talk  • 21:58, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for a speedy response and edits to the article. There are still a few more items:

The changes in the Design section look good. We are almost there. Cheers! -- — Keithbob • Talk  • 16:20, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Lead:
 * This exact sentence appears twice in the lead "The fifty euro note is the fourth smallest note measuring 140x77mm with an orange colour scheme." ✅
 * We shouldn't have info about the founding of the euro or about the ten euro note in the lead. This may be related info for the Background section but the purpose of the lead is to define the topic and summarize the main points of the article per WP:LEAD. ✅
 * The word "euro" is wikilinked twice in the lead (MOS says we wikilink just the first time it appears in the article) ✅
 * History:
 * I don't see why we need a subsection called "Changes" for two sentences of text. Changes in design are part of its History. WP:LAYOUT says "Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheading"
 * Unless this is an historical event....consider moving this sentence out of the History section and into the Background section: "Both the European Central Bank and the central banks of the eurozone countries have the legal right to issue the 7 different euro banknotes. However, the national central banks of the zone physically issue and withdraw euro banknotes. The European Central Bank does not have a cash office and is not involved in any cash operations." ✅

Thanks for reviewing it. And 4 days! I think that is a personal record on GA Improvements! – Plarem (User talk contribs) 18:26, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
