Starting first read-through. More soonest. – Tim riley (talk) 11:16, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Before formally assessing this article against the GA criteria, may I offer a few gratuitous points on the prose? They are just my personal thoughts, and don't affect the question of GA status (which I shall definitely be awarding, I may say).

Lead
- "whilst" – I never know what this quaint word has to offer that "while" hasn't, apart from two unnecessary letters. There's another "whilst" later, too.

Done both. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:08, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- "highly fixed traditional" – I think "highly fixed" needs a hyphen. And also at its occurrence in the "Style" section.

I believe that MOS:HYPHEN suggests no hyphen (adverb, not adjective). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:08, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Second para – two "highly"s in close proximity.

Removed one. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:08, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Style
"in the center" – up to this point I thought we were using UK English ("coloured", "favourites") but now US English – or other variant – pops up.

Apologies. Now fixed. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:08, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's my lot. If you care to ponder and bat the ball back to me I'll do the GA formalities. – Tim riley (talk) 12:02, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:09, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
