 * This looks as if it might be the type of article I can review. I will work on it over the next few days but be patient with me as I'm not very experienced at GA reviews yet. I usually ask a more experienced reviewer to have a quick peek over my shoulder as I get towards the end of the review just to be on the safe side.

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * A. Prose quality:
 * 'his Derby conqueror' doesn't feel quite right to me but maybe I'm showing my ignorance and it is terminology commonly used?
 * 'Salivator' finishes one sentence and then starts the next in the second paragraph of 1809 season, which feels a bit clunky to me, so may be worth considering re-jigging a little?
 * B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
 * 1) Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
 * A. Has an appropriate reference section:
 * B. Citation to reliable sources where necessary:
 * C. No original research:
 * 1) Is it broad in its coverage?
 * A. Major aspects:
 * B. Focused:
 * 1) Is it neutral?
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) Is it stable?
 * No edit wars, etc:
 * 1) Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
 * A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:
 * Both are US PD
 * B. Images are provided if possible and are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass or Fail:

 * Thanks, I've reworded the sentence with Salivator in and change 'Derby conqueror' to 'Derby winner'. Edwarddutton (talk) 15:48, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Requested outside comment here: I agree with Phil's assessments above. The only side note I'd offer is that this article appears a bit marginal for notability; glancing through a number of the sources, only #21 has the in-depth discussion of the subject to count toward notability by the GNG. But I haven't checked them all, and in any case, notability's explicitly not an issue for the GA criteria. Anyway, from what I see, this has no obvious issues and I'd say it's likely to end up as a pass. Thanks again for all your work on these, Edward! -- Khazar2 (talk) 18:18, 19 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you both for all your help and understanding with this. Everything now has a green check mark!  SagaciousPhil   -  Chat  07:32, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
