I was going to rate it GA class, but am unsure how to do it. My reason is that it is fairly comprehensive, however needs a little more info, and some editing from more than one editor.Traditional unionist 23:46, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GAC

I'm not going to fail this article's nomination (although I probably should) but I'm concerned over the lack of references and footnotes on this article, articles without references (three on an article this size won't do) are usually quick failed without receiving a complete review, another issue I noticed while browsing the text was that full dates weren't linked, please link them to avoid WP:MOS concerns in the review and expand the lead to shape it into a proper overview of the article per WP:LEAD, fix these and the chances of this article passing GAC will improve, good luck! - Caribbean~H.Q. 00:36, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

I have failed this article since the request for references has been in place for 23 days and has not yet been attended to. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:17, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
