 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * " were taken"

 * "which came both from English spy and polymath John Dee and the breaking of a World War I German diplomatic code, and Bond's character and tastes, which came from, as Fleming himself put it "all the secret agents and commando types I met during the war", as well as Fleming himself." - shorten this sentence; maybe something like, "which came both from English spy and polymath John Dee, the breaking of a World War I German diplomatic code, Bond's character and tastes, as well as Fleming himself." I removed the clause I found redundant.

 * Any copyright issues? What was James Bond's response?
 * Not entirely sure I follow you here - could you clarify? As to Bond's response, it's referred to in the text ("a charming couple who are amused by the whole joke".[7])
 * Forget this, I assume my brain did not work very well during this time...-- ♫GoP♫ T C N 10:47, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Name of the cigarette brand? With Morland, do you mean Morland, Cumbria?
 * Done - SchroCat ( ^  •  @ ) 16:07, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * "sixty cigarettes a day", "80 cigarettes a day" - use consistent style
 * Done - SchroCat ( ^  •  @ ) 16:07, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Will review the table later
 * "blowing up an Italian ship single-handedly himself" I am not sure why we need "himself" at the end.
