2. Accurate and verifiable: Section acceptable

Acceptable

3. Broad in coverage: Section acceptable

a. covers main aspects:

b. relevant/properly captioned:

7. Additional items not required for a GA, but requested by the reviewer:

a. ~~images that should have alt texts have them: Needs work Please consider doing this, as it does have a big impact on accessibility.~~ Done.

b. general catch all and aesthetics: Meh. I don't really love the image placement, some things butt into sections they shouldn't, but it's nothing major.

Comments after the initial review: Was interesting. Little piece of history I never knew about. Solid piece of work, I'm happy to promote this. Sven Manguard Wha? 03:26, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
