I'll review this splendid article, which I found admirably informative, thorough, clear, and well-cited. Reviewer: Chiswick Chap (talk · contribs) 14:09, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	It is a model of clarity and conciseness.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	The structure is straightforward, canonical, and suits the subject admirably.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	It is fully and properly cited.
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	The sources are excellent. Personally I'd favour using the Harvard mechanism to link the References to the Bibliography but this is not a GA requirement.
	2c. it contains no original research.	There is no sign of original research or editorialising in the article.
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.	There is no sign of any copyright issue. Earwig is entirely happy.
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	It seems to a lay editor to be admirably comprehensive. The topics fit together logically and there are no discernible loose ends.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	There is no wandering off topic. The level of detail is even throughout.
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	There is no sign of the adoption of a point of view.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.	The article is stable. There has been no editing since mid-May.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	All the images are from Commons and appear to be correctly tagged there.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	The images contribute substantially to the article, often contributing insight as well as variety.
	7. Overall assessment.	I am more than satisfied that this article meets the GA criteria. The article is a model of encyclopedic technical writing and I wish it well if it is intended for FAC. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:18, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
