Murray William James Bourchier[edit]

The article has been substantially rewritten and expanded since initially assessed as Start class. Suggestions for improvement on the section about his military career would be appreciated. Dbromage 05:51, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I took the liberty of making some formatting mods and one or two minor rephrases. The article looks pretty good and appears to meet most or all B-class requirements. At roughly the current level of detail I could imagine it going one or two classes higher. Some suggestions:

  • Lose the Trivia section. The info is worthwhile but I would just integrate it into the last part of the Political Career section unless there's somewhere better. On the other hand, if there's something you can add regarding any long-reaching effects of his military or political career, a Legacy section would be the perfect home for it. In that case you could transfer the Lighthorsemen tidbit there and ditch the Popular Culture section as well, no bad thing.
  • Be good to hear a bit more on his career between WWI and politics. If you can add more there, you could split Military Career into World War I and Post-War subsections.
  • I think a little more detail all round would help so that the quotes/citations, though worthwhile in themselves, don't overbalance the article.
