Nominator(s): Dumelow (talk) 07:12, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is an article I created five years ago and have slowly been building up ever since. It passed a Mil Hist A class review last month during which Dank kindly copyedited it. I believe the article to be as complete as I can make it and suitable for consideration as an FA. If promoted I believe this would become our only FA on a civil engineer (we have a few aeronautical engineers and an electrical engineer and Isambard Kingdom Brunel was an FA in 2006). Many thanks - Dumelow (talk) 07:12, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support on prose per standard disclaimer. I've looked at the changes made since I reviewed this for A-class. These are my edits. - Dank (push to talk) 23:43, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I reviewed this in some detail at the ACR Dumelow links in his nomination statement (and examined the edits made since then), and I believe it to be of featured quality. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:38, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Image review

File:Lake_Biwa_Canal_Museum_of_Kyoto_IMG_5473_a-9.JPG: medals are considered 3D works, so you need a licensing tag for the medal as well as the photo. Nikkimaria (talk) 17:55, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I have added an additional licence for this image - Dumelow (talk) 20:18, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support: I could find very little to fault with this article; as far as I could tell it satisfies the criteria for FA status and thus I'd like to provide my support. Nice job. Praemonitus (talk) 19:06, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on sources: It would be more convenient to readers if online links were all contained within the citations (as they indeed are in most cases). In refs 2, 5, 6, 37 and 56, however, the reader has to go to the bibliography and search, before finding the link. Brianboulton (talk) 17:40, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Brian. I have always kept journal articles and books separate from other sources so they can be cited by page. I have played around a bit and converted all my citations to harvnb style. This allows the reader to click the citation to be taken to the relevant entry in the bibliography. Hopefully this solves that problem (and I think more elegantly than repeating the full citation in the references section). Many thanks - Dumelow (talk) 19:58, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Closing note: This candidate has been promoted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FAC/ar, and leave the {{featured article candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. Ian Rose (talk) 01:37, 1 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
