Percy Statton[edit]

I am requesting this article be reviewed for A-Class as I have expanded it over ten fold in the last five days, and believe it now meets the criteria. Any and all comments welcome. Thanks, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 14:58, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Support. Just one question: in the VC citation, it says "Sjt. Station". Why the spelling discrepancy? Otherwise it looks good. – Joe Nutter 19:54, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the support, Joe. The discrepancy is just a typo from a copy/paste job, which I have now fixed. Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 23:45, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Support All looks good against the A-Class criteria as far as I can tell. The prose is ok, the references are properly formatted, working and reliable. There are correctly licensed images, every area of his life is covered. Well done. Woody (talk) 18:22, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Support I gave this a quick copyedit. One minor remaining prose issue:
- "True to her word that she would leave him if he went off to war, Statton and his wife divorced on 1 October 1920." - this is a (barely) misplaced modifier, but without the sources, I wasn't sure how to accurately fix it.
- This is well-written and certainly deserving of A-class. Let me know if you have any questions about my copyedit. Maralia (talk) 05:00, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you very much for the copyedit; I have no qualms with it. In response to your query, see the Australian Dictionary of Biography reference (here), which is where I obtained that snippet of information. Thanks/cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 05:46, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
