I am starting review the article. Please feel free to join! --' Tito Dutta '  ✉  08:41, 10 May 2012 (UTC) I have read the article before starting review. I'll keep on adding notes and comments below. Hope for the best! --' Tito Dutta '  ✉  08:41, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Let's start
 * First read

First read comments
First look assessment: ✅ Ok! There is not any "basic problem" in the article, and we can start the review in detail now. --' Tito Dutta '  ✉  08:41, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
 * First things to look for

u20 ===Image=== All the images are aligned right mow. You can place 1–2 images at left side of the article! --' Tito Dutta '  ✉  08:41, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Alignment
 * Per WP:IMAGES, "Do not place images on the left at the start of any section or subsection". Only one of the images is not at the start of a section, so I shifted that to the left. Regards, RJH (talk) 15:30, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

a) Is it a stamp? According to file description: Envelope Moscow Yuri Gagarin SG "The anniversary of the first manned space flight" Moscow 1962 (translated using Google Translator). If it is a commemorative stamp/post card, why don't you mention it in the caption? b) Also since this is a painting, you can think of replace the image with this original image: File:Gagarin in Sweden.jpg (not applicable if you are going to follow "a"). --' Tito Dutta '  ✉  08:41, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
 * File:Convert ru kosmos080.jpg
 * I modified the caption. Regards, RJH (talk) 15:30, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Some images are distracting, I feel, because of image size. This one File:Magedurger Halbkugeln Luftpumpe Deutsches Museum.jpg etc. This size of this image File:Aurora-SpaceShuttle-EO.jpg is 300px currently. As far I can understand, all the images in the article are very important, so, why are you using 300px for this image only? I have noticed in most of the images you have used the images as thumbnail, if possible bring the image sizes to match with quote boxes (add 175px or 200px). To do this:
 * Image size
 * Go to edit mode
 * Change the code like this example.svg >> example.svg I know you know how to this, but GA reviewers are instructed to suggest in details. Hope it is alright for you--' Tito Dutta '  ✉  16:01, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Mmm, my understanding is that we generally want images to be thumbnails so that viewers can control the size. (WP:IMAGES and see also WP:IDD.) I've seen people express strong views about that in the past, so I usually only set the size in specific cases (such as the infobox). Regards, RJH (talk) 16:04, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. Did you have any further concerns? Regards, RJH (talk) 16:19, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Closing GA nom. RJH (talk) 17:39, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I apologize, I did not notice May 23rd's post (missed it in watchlist most probably– sometimes a talk page message is helpful, anyway..), what is the reason of withdrawing the nomination? Will add a talkback template in your template (I do not use tb template, so will write manually) -- Tito Dutta  ✉  18:35, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * There was no response or activity, so I decided to close the GA nom rather than leave it bottlenecked. I may try again later, or somebody else can try to take it through. Regards, RJH (talk) 00:54, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This is unfortunate! I request you to undo the withdraw! Sometimes, see here, for last 20-25 days I am continuously requesting editors to join the review, but no one is joining: Talk:Islam/GA1, I have contacted nominator in his talk page multiple times too. No response. And sometimes nominator closes reviews since there is not any response. On one hand I apologize for delay here, on the other hand, you could post a message in my talk page before closing the review. I strongly request you to undo the withdraw! -- Tito Dutta  ✉  08:19, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * No thank you. I'll let you focus on your other reviews. Regards, RJH (talk) 14:39, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I am trying to find what should be done now (to re-start the review etc)! -- Tito Dutta  ✉  16:12, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
