Previous review

After the last Peer Review in 2006, I've been involved in getting references for the article and trying to expand it again. The Lee-Enfield is, of course, one of the most influential firearms in history and one of the Core Topics of the "Technology" aspect of the WWI Centenary Drive. As such, I'd like to think it warrants a much better rating than "B" and would like some feedback and assistance on how to get it to Featured Article status; or at least an improvement over its current rating. The previous Peer Review is located here, for anyone that's interested. Commander Zulu (talk) 02:40, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't think of a delicate way to put this, but seeing as no-one has come in and said "This article is terrible and it's uncited and its full of redlinks and spelling errors!", then perhaps the article deserves to be ranked a lot higher than a "B"? I mean, I'm increasingly seeing people linking to the article on shooting message boards whenever someone asks about the Lee-Enfield with a "It's all in there" comment to accompany it...

I'd like to see the units in the infobox in a consistent form - either Imperial then metric or vice versa - as a mattere of feel I personally would expect Imp first... There's also units in the text without the space before and at least one occaision of " where inches ought to be. Probably do some of them right now myself.

I've separated the book list from teh specific footnotes for you. In the footnotes, you should use shortform instead of repeating the full details over and over. "Smith (2004), p. 53." and so forth. YellowMonkey (click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model!) 03:15, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Recently I disambiguated incoming links to Enfield; some of the links I sent to Lee-Enfield and related articles. So, many I suggest inspecting the links (especially the redirects) to Lee-Enfield to see if any further disambiguating is needed there? --Una Smith (talk) 23:56, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
