 * Nominator(s): Jim Sweeney (talk)

I am nominating this article for A-Class review because it has been peer reviewed and just passed GA but I would like some pointers to get it to A Class. thanks Jim Sweeney (talk) 13:51, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * No problems with alt text, disambig links, or external links. Well done!
 * Your house names are in italics, but given the nature of the article I would like to know if this is necessary. Italics here lend the impression that we are talking about houseboats, but I find that hard to believe since a houseboat is in my mind not exactly the best place to raise a family. I would suggest that unless its absolutely needed you remove the italics from the house names.
 * Otherwise it looks good. TomStar81 (Talk) 22:07, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review - No they were not houseboats so I have removed the italics --Jim Sweeney (talk) 07:28, 7 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Support Alright then, I'm happy. TomStar81 (Talk) 14:01, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
 *  Comments Support: this is a very good biography in my opinion. Well done, I have a couple of comments I'd like looked at before supporting, but they are only minor:
 * should "Hill Climbing" in the lead be in caps?
 * in the infobox the dates for TA service are 1929-36 and RNVR 1936-43, however, in the Second World War section it says he requested a transfer from TA in 1930, so should it be TA 1929-30 and RNVR 1930-1943? Not sure, though;
 * should "Knots" in Coastal forces section be in caps?
 * should "Flak" (as in trawler) in 8th MGB Flotilla be in caps?
 * should "Motor Launches" in Casualties section be in caps?
 * in the Casualties section you use date range of "1942/43" should this be "1942–43"?

Other than these minor things, I think the article is very well done. I tweaked a couple of minor grammatical things as I found them. Well done. Once the above comments are fixed and or explained, I'd be more than happy to support. Cheers. — AustralianRupert (talk) 21:45, 11 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Hill Climbing changed to hill climbing
 * changed to and eventually transferred to the Royal Naval Volunteer Supplementary Reserve in 1936 does that make it clearer ?
 * Knot to knot
 * Flak to flak
 * I believe Motor Launch should be in caps as in Motor Gun Boat and Motor Torpedo Boat see this link  --Jim Sweeney (talk) 09:48, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * My comments have been addressed, so I've changed my vote to support. Well done and thanks for your contribution. — AustralianRupert (talk) 21:12, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review and support. --Jim Sweeney (talk) 09:56, 13 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Support: An excellent article. I can't see anything that should stop it from be promoted. Anotherclown (talk) 08:44, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
