Arms, titles, honours and styles of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington
Referring article for BCR, simply due to plentiful updates, expanded content, movement of content from its Main article to here, recently. Is really just a lot of lists and dates to support the Main article of Wellington, but getting it reviewed and rated even as Start or C, is indicative of where it stands for development.

 * Don't know where this one can go should it be a list as it mostly is at present or prose, but however it needs more references some sections have no references at all.
 * The article name is a bit over long but i can not think of anything to shorten it maybe Honours of the 1st Duke of Wellington or Honours of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington Jim Sweeney (talk) 12:10, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Comments per standard disclaimer. As always, feel free to revert my copyediting. Please check the edit summaries.
 * "along with von Blücher, he defeated the French ...": I agree with the lowercasing on "von", but both because it's unusual to lowercase a name in English, and because we generally introduce commanders with more than just their last name, I'd add something ... at least "Field Marshal".
 * "During his life, Wellington received numerous honours, titles and awards throughout his career as a statesman and soldier.": Lose the "during his life", it's redundant to the last bit.
 * The lead should summarize the page, per WP:LEAD; it will need more detail to do that.
 * "in a unique ceremony lasting a full day": if the main thing that was unique about it was that it lasted a full day, say something like "the only such ceremony to last a full day". If you're referring to something else that was unique about it, then say what that was. - Dank (push to talk) 15:01, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
