Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the Good Article criteria. Criteria marked are unassessed

1a

"was a Spanish sherry maker for the González Byass company and a conservationist. Most of his life he worked for the family company, González Byass" I'd eliminate the first mention of Gonzales Byass ("was a Spanish sherry maker and a conservationist.") because it makes more sense coming in the second sentence. Otherwise, it feels a little redundant.
"born in Hampton Hill, London, United Kingdom as a son" → comma after Kingdom
"moved to Jerez de la Frontera at age 3 to go to school" → 3 to three
"where he licenced himself as a teacher of trade" → licened to licensed. Also, the institution granted him the license, right? Or was it truly something he granted to himself?
"González-Gordon also served on the board of González Byass since 1961" → "González-Gordon also served on the board of González Byass beginning in 1961"
The whole Conservationism paragraph could probably be split into at least two paragraphs as it reads like a wall of text right now.
"The group sought international support for their goals and found it." Can you be any more specific about where they found this support?
"They idea to start the organisation" → They to The
"The Doñana area would later be turned into Doñana National Park in 1969." Awkward tenses; try "The Doñana area was turned into Doñana National Park in 1969" or some variation.
"González-Gordon also wrote a translation of Roger Tory Petersons A Field Guide to the Birds of Britain and Europe in 1957." → Two things: an apostrophe is needed in Peterson's name and the book title should be italicized.

1b

Looks good!

2a

There are several references in Spanish. Would you mind adding the | language=Spanish | parameter to the cite templates, where applicable?
A few of your book references use | pages=XX | which produces "pp. XX", whereas | page=XX | correctly produces "p. XX". If only one page is being used from the sources, just depluralize pages to page and get rid of the dash after the numbers ("133–").

2b

Looks good!

2c

Any source for "He attended the University of Seville and graduated in Chemical Sciences in 1946."?

3

Adequately broad, covering a variety of aspects of this interesting fellow's exploits throughout his life, without getting tangential.

4 and 5

No neutrality issues apparent; seems to present a fair picture of its subject without revering or detracting.
Article is very stable; lots of work over the past year but no conflicts and seems to be more or less "finished" for now.

Also, you might consider adding the Spanish patronymic name tag {{Spanish name 2 }} to the top of the article...it seems to be common in articles about people with Spanish name structure.

All in all, this article is very close to GA status and just needs a few tweaks to get it there. Good work! Best, BobAmnertiopsis ∴_ChatMe! 21:45, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for making changes so promptly! This article now fulfills GA criteria and I'm happy to pass it. Thanks for your good work and sorry it took so long for anyone to take the review. All the best, BobAmnertiopsis ∴_ChatMe! 19:07, 7 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for responding so quickly to my changes to the article. I had not even the time to tell you of my edits on this page! Another thanks for your excellent review. It pointed me to some new things I did not know yet such as the reference to loose pages. It's always nice to have someone show the things I overlooked, like the missing source to the University degree. I think I managed to adress all the points you raised, except for one, unfortunately. And that is this one.

"The group sought international support for their goals and found it." Can you be any more specific about where they found this support?

I have to regret that I am not able to further expand on it. The current basis is provided in source number 10. Sadly enough I do remember reading more about it when I wrote/expanded this article, but now, after half an hour of searching I've still not managed to track it down. As you have already passed the article I suppose generally it is in order now, if you have any further suggestions I'm ofcourse happy to hear. Crispulop (talk) 19:16, 7 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about jumping the gun there; my UTC clock widget is at odds with the times of edits that are listed (in local time, apparently) on the history pages so I'd assumed that you'd worked on the article several hours earlier and just hadn't made any comment on it. In any case, good work with the article! I'm always happy to try and be comprehensive with these reviews as I have certainly learned a lot about what makes an article good from having articles I've worked on be reviewed by others.
