First attempt GA nom questions...

Another editor removed this article from GAC earlier today leaving only "quick-fail" in the edit summaries. I left a note on that editor's talk page to ask why. Slambo (Speak) 13:20, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

This article quick failed on GA criteria because it does not cite the sources of the facts like weight and dimension. OhanaUnited 13:22, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

As regards to infobox data sources, please see section 'References/Footnotes' for details of notability. --Bulleid Pacific 09:53, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

GA nomination passed

   {{subst:#if:|{{{6com}}}|}}

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   {{subst:#if:|{{{7com}}}|}}

Reasons for verdict and suggestions: The article is written well, with a good amount of information, broad coverage of the entire history of the train, with good and fair use of images. A single complaint:

• Section 2a - Although the article has references for the statements in this article, it would be preferable to place them more liberally throughout the article. Ideally, each statement should have an accompanying reference, rather than have the one reference apply to a huge swathe of text, especially in the infobox. The lead section needs referenced!

However, this is not enough for me to fail the article as it does provide verification of all the facts, even if I had to work a bit to make sure! Well done with the article, and keep up the good work! Mouse Nightshirt | talk 13:38, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
