Review

I have struggled to find anything to quibble about in this splendidly throrough and enjoyable article. The best I can manage is this couple of minor points:

• the numbers for references 74 and 139 should be after the closing brackets of the parentheses, not before them, according to the Manual of Style.
• in reference 67 I suppose "World World" is a typo for "World War".

And a comment rather than a quibble: reference 149 took me by surprise: I have never seen such a thing before, but it says what needs saying and so seems right. The two small quibbles above are not worth hanging about over, and so I have much pleasure in promoting this admirable article to GA.
