[edit] GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Jan Willem Spruyt/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

• A nonfree image could be rationalised, if you have one.
  • Unfortunately as yet no image has been found for Spruyt.
• Break the first paragraph into more than one sentence please...
  • Done.
• "Most of his life he practised as law agent in private practice in both Boer republics, however." - this reads awkwardly, especially at the end of a paragraph... can you reword it?
  • Done.
• The link to Oosterwolde is a dab page.
  • Changed.
• "Later Spruyt did act as State President" - "acted" might sound better than "did act"
  • Changed.
• Some of these subsections are really short, not sure if they're really necessary...
  • Changed.
• "He he was allowed" - typo?
  • Corrected.

This GAN has passed, and this is now a good article! If you found this review helpful, please consider helping out a fellow editor by reviewing another good article nomination.
