  • Support. This article does need a bit of copy editing, and there is at least one "cite needed" tag which needs to be addressed, but it seems very thorough and well-researched. -- Ssilvers 03:59, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: The article has excellent information and great illustrations, but I'm not sure it's only one step below FA-class for the following reasons:
  • Some good, solid copy editing is needed.
  • Many significant facts, including some that might be debated or considered POV, are not cited.
  • Several of the references lack full bibliographic information (publisher, place & year of publication, ISBN).
  • Several of the citations don't have accompanying bibliograpic references, so it would be difficult, if not impossible, to track down the source involved, if a reader wanted to.
With all this in mind, I would tend to wait until these issues are more fully addressed before promoting to A-class. Jancarhart 20:26, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Oppose - I could grant A-Class to an article with some of the problems indicated above, but not with all those listed. John Carter 15:57, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Agree with Jancarhart and John Carter. Errabee 13:09, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
