Comments from Giants2008 - I appreciate your enthusiam, but the article is a long way away from FA quality. Personally, I think it would be a good idea to work for good article status first, in order to better prepare for an FA attempt in the future. The article probably needs more work to meet GA standards, however. Just from a brief scan, I found some things involving the referencing that can be improved:
 * The citation needed tags need to be resolved before any GA attempt, let alone an FA try. Either cite the sentences or remove them.
 * The references should all be formatted with a publisher and access date. Also, the external jumps in the text should be converted to citations.
 * I saw a couple of uncited quotes, including a long one in Lawyer community strike. This also needs a cite: "The immediate response from most countries has been critical, with the measures viewed as running counter to liberal-democratic reforms."
 * Check the quality of your sources. Current references 21 and 30 are blogs, which usually aren't considered reliable sources.  Giants2008  ( 17-14 ) 02:58, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
