GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
Lede is slightly anaemic, and could do with another sentence to flesh it out.
I honestly don't know what to add; there's already pretty serious duplication between the lead and the service para.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
Do we know why funds were withheld from her when requested?
Not specifically, but probably because it was thought obsolete.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

One small question, possibly unanswerable, and an expansion to the lede, and this will be good to go. Skinny87 (talk) 11:10, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
