William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin
As part of the Belfast WikiProject, I have rated this article as A-class. I would like to gain consensus that it is in fact GA class, or perhaps as good as FA class. This is my first nomination here for this purpose, so please bear with me as I leaarn the ropes. My goal is to bring attention to the article in order that editors become interested in improving it ultimately to Featured status. --Mal 04:06, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It looks pretty good. Here's a few comments that are hopefully of some use:
 * "Kelvin temperature scale" could be linked to Kelvin in the introduction.
 * The "Family" section needs an in-line citation or two.
 * In the "Later expeditions" section it is implied but not actually stated that Fanny was one of Charles R. Blandy's daughters. Did the two ever court? It's unclear.
 * Here's a reference I found useful in the Sun article. http://www.philosophy.umd.edu/Faculty/LDarden/sciinq/ It could be used, for example, in the last paragraph in the "Geology and theology" section:
 * It's a minor point, but the convention is to place the in-line citation after the punctuation mark, not before. (Footnotes)
 * There's nothing about his retirement, death or the location of his burial.
 * Thanks. &mdash; RJH (talk) 15:22, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I was also surprised that the first section had no citation at all. While I'm unfamiliar with the subject, hence limited in what I can comment, It does appear to be complete and comprehensive enough for GA consideration, although rather skimpy on references for an article of its length. Also, the table format for the quotes is somewhat unusual. Is there a particular precedent for that? Most articles indent, sometimes with italics. Overall, good work. I could see this becoming an FAC a few months down the line. Durova 04:54, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
