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

Hi, I will be reviewing this article for GA. Looking through it, the article seems very good. I will be adding comments. Please feel free to ask me any questions. &mdash; Mattisse (Talk) 17:05, 5 September 2008 (UTC) Some small prose issues:
 * Avoid having any footnotes in the lead, if possible.
 * Also, in the lead, I think you should put the date (2008) his record was equalled, e.g. it was equalled by cyclist Chris Hoy in 2008 (or whenever).
 * Good point, done. Nev1 (talk) 21:11, 5 September 2008 (UTC)


 * "train in the canal too" - train in the canal also
 * Well, you've taken care of that. Nev1 (talk) 21:11, 5 September 2008 (UTC)


 * "in each of the three events he took part in" - in each of the three events in which he took part:
 * Done. Nev1 (talk) 21:11, 5 September 2008 (UTC)


 * "kept fit by swimming round" - keep fit by swimming around
 * Doesn't that change the tense of the verb to present? The rest of the sentence is in past tense and it just wouldn't work. Nev1 (talk) 21:11, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry! I meant "kept fit by swimming around"! I'll fix it. &mdash; Mattisse  (Talk) 21:42, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

*I am unsure of the status of Image:Henry Taylor in British swimming colours.jpg. It seems like it must be PD but is not clearly labeled as such.
 * There are a few places that need commas - I have stuck a couple in.
 * "At the age of 7 Taylor swam his first race" - swam in his first race.
 * Done. Nev1 (talk) 21:11, 5 September 2008 (UTC)


 * All references should be in the same format. It seems like reference #7 is not in cite web as the others are.
 * I think they are, they all use the cite web template. Nev1 (talk) 21:11, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Final GA review (see here for criteria)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
