GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

Hi there, I am happy to tell you that this article has passed GA without the need for any further improvement. Listed below is information on how the article fared against the good article criteria, with suggestions for future development. These are not required to achieve GA standard, but they might help in future A-class or FAC review process.
 * It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * Prose is not bad, although it could be a little bit smoother. I've fiddled with it a little bit, but it would be worth getting a military history peer review and asking people to look at it.--Jackyd101 (talk) 00:07, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah my writing style is not that great, thatnks for improving it. I will take a look myself this weekend and ask around for help, it has already been peer reviewed - Dumelow (talk) 07:46, 20 September 2008 (UTC)


 * It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * a (fair representation): b (all significant views):
 * It is stable.
 * It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
 * a (tagged and captioned): b (lack of images does not in itself exclude GA):  c (non-free images have fair use rationales):
 * I'm a little unsure of the positioning of the HMS St George and HMS Philomel image in August 26. On my browser it displaces all the text beneath it and it looks a little odd. Maybe consider reversing the images in this section.--Jackyd101 (talk) 00:07, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yep, I agree with you. I will look at that as well and maybe swap the sides - Dumelow (talk) 07:46, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Overall:
 * a Pass/Fail:

Thankyou and congratulations, a very interesting article on an interesting and bizarre topic. Incidentally, the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography has an article on Lloyd Mathews. If you have access I recommend putting an article together to complement this one. All the best.--Jackyd101 (talk) 00:07, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thankyou for passing it. I have been looking at doing an article at Lloyd Mathews for a while and will try to get it sorted in the next week or so.  Thanks - Dumelow (talk) 07:46, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
