 * Looks fine as usual, aside from the hidden threat asserting that if readers don't come to Gibraltar they'll be "eliminated"...♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld  14:00, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Symbol voting keep.svg - Looks fine. I'll AGF about the offline sources. I'm going to say that putting the citation at the end of the quote is OK. King Jakob  C2 23:10, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Article - moved to main space on 15 June, so new enough; 16,536 characters of readable prose, so long enough; neutral; no copy vios detected using earwig/duplication detector on the one online source; un-assessed so not a stub.
 * Hook - within length criteria at 195 characters; correctly formatted; correctly cited/supported by ref #19 in 'Design' section; and interesting.
 * QPQ done; image license is CC BY-SA 3.0, so not problem.
 * I see no promotional concerns, nor any COI issues in this well written, informative article.

The first paragraph under section 1939-45 needs a reference (unless I'm missing it somewhere). The hook is referenced at the end of the quotation but does it also need to be immediately beside the first sentence of the quote for the DYK rule? Sorry, I'm not sure if it's slightly different when it's a quote. SagaciousPhil  -  Chat  08:43, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've added a reference for that 1st paragraph you mentioned. Prioryman (talk) 23:27, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Prioryman - it looks as King Jacob had already stepped in and approved it anyway above.   SagaciousPhil   -  Chat  06:45, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
