Hoping to get this FA status at some piont. Thought I'd see what eles is needed to do that by getting it to A class. Buc 15:33, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - I question the prominence of the separated quotes. I'm not sure it's particularly common to do so, and it does to a degree, at least in my eyes, maybe detract from the neutrality of the article. John Carter 17:43, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Are you suggesting I remove them althougher or just make them less prominent? Buc 15:33, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
• Support The quotes are an ornament, and not really a problem. Minor style/editing issues are not an obstacle to A class promotion. Most sources seem to be good. The article is readable, it makes good use of pictures, the infobox is filled out, an anonymous hero added persondata, its been previously peer reviewed and it's made GA. I say it qualifies. -Duribald 17:10, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - I was wondering why there are no ref's in the lead at all? For instance it says As a child Milner was recognised as a talent in football, cricket and a long distance runner representing his school in each. I think that needs ref'ing personally. My only comment part from that think its a very good article Everlast¹⁹¹⁰ 20:49, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
  • That's an easy one. Everything is the lead is mentioned later with a ref. Buc 06:01, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
• Comment It's not unusual for the intro to lack refs, since the info in it is just a summary of the contents of the article. -Duribald 08:05, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
• Support per Duribald above. John Carter 19:50, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
