Oof, this will be like the apprentice teaching his master! The article looks good, and I have a few suggestions that could be taken or left. FunkMonk (talk) 10:13, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Damn, seems we were only two years away from this image[5] being in the public domain![6] FunkMonk (talk) 10:38, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps this stamp could be used:[7] I'm not sure what the date is, though. FunkMonk (talk) 10:41, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Strike that, seems it's from 1976. FunkMonk (talk) 10:45, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I had a good hard look for an image, but to no avail; it's something that may crop up in time, but I won't hold my breath! If we can find a Wikipedian in Nauru, I gather they're like sparrows over there... J Milburn (talk) 20:12, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for the review- I'm particularly excited about the original description, which I searched for but somehow managed to miss. I'll be sure to go through that closely. I'll get to your comments at some point in the next couple of days. J Milburn (talk) 11:16, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good now, for a potential FA, maybe permission should be asked for a picture somewhere... FunkMonk (talk) 00:37, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. 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):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:

Thanks for your careful review. I do think that this one may have FA potential, but there a few little bits I want to work on first- trying to get hold of an image is certainly one of them! J Milburn (talk) 00:02, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
