[edit] British East India Company

Self nomination. I was involved in expanding the History section considerably. I have tried to add everything that is credibly known about the company's long and influential history. Many users have also done some great copy-editing. Hope the article has shaped up well. If you have any objections/suggestions for additions, please go ahead/let me know about them. - Chancemill 07:06, Apr 28, 2004 (UTC)

Moving this back up to without objections. :) jengod 00:53, May 21, 2004 (UTC)

• Support. Excellent; well-written and very thorough looks at the Company's ups and downs, its influences and key players. I would, however, hope for another picture or two, perhaps illustrating some of their work, good and bad (famine, etc.). --LordSuryaofShropshire 16:31, Apr 29, 2004 (UTC)
  • I too feel that the article would be so much more complete with a few balancing images. unfortunately, I am unable to find any more relevant images in the public domain. Any help in this will be greatly appreciated. Chancemill 14:00, Apr 30, 2004 (UTC)
• Support, with minor reservations. The article's content is excellent, but I think it could use some copyediting. I made one pass over it, but it still has a strong tendency towards run-on sentences and overuse and misuse of commas. A pitcure of a trading post or of a sailing ship would be nice next to the intro paragraph. --Andrew 15:29, Apr 30, 2004 (UTC)
• Support. Object for now- it needs some work. I've left some questions on the talk page. Markalexander100 03:18, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
  • I went through your questions. Great job again. 172 19:55, 19 May 2004 (UTC)
• Support. The East India Company played a MAJOR role in some 150 years of India's history and this article is pretty good. -- Kishore
