WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Dr John Forrest (1804-1865)
Thank you very much for your interest in the Military history WikiProject's A-Class review process. However, the article you've submitted for review is quite some way from being ready for A-Class assessment. The criteria the article would be assessed against are listed here, and are widely recognised to constitute one of the most rigorous review processes on Wikipedia (second only to Featured article review). Rather than fail the article nomination, as a courtesy we'd like to recommend that you withdraw your nomination for now. You are most welcome to resubmit the article once some of the more fundamental issues, like compliance with Wikipedia's manual of style, have been addressed.

If you're looking for a route that will assist with the article's improvement, you might find it useful to first take the article through the Good article review process or request a peer review. The Guild of Copy Editors may also be of assistance in helping to bring the article into compliance with 'house style', which is really the first priority as the presence of hatnotes (such as those in the article at the moment) is usually enough to cause an article to fail any community review process.

I hope this helps. Best regards, EyeSerene talk 08:46, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
