I will take this review. I am sorry for how long you've had to wait. I've reviewed 60+ other articles, including some long and complex ones, and will review this article against the 6 good article criteria. I'll read over this article and have a think, then start the review in 2-3 days. --Tom (LT) (talk) 21:24, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks! I'm currently reviewing an article which has been languishing at GAN for two months now, so a fortnight isn't really that long to wait in comparison! I look forward to hearing your comments. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 21:53, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusion[edit]

  •  Done images checked - no problems
  •  Done text checked for plagiarism - none found
  •  Done some sources checked - no issues

Comments:

  • I don't think that "Note 2" is necessary, I think it could be deleted without any damage to the integrity of the article
  • In "Legal rights" and other sections, when a person's opinion or finding is written ("John Smith argues...") it's very useful for the uninformed reader if their profession is put at the start ("Historian John Smith argues...").
  • You might not be aware, but there is a fairly easy to use citation style for when you are using only a couple of sources. See Anatomical terms of motion#References to see this style. I found it much easier to use when I only had to write my article, and maybe it will be useful in your future editing.

All in all, a thoroughly interesting and well-written article that meets the good article criteria! The comments above are small and don't impact on the high quality of this article, which I am passing. Well done! Tom (LT) (talk) 00:40, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Addit: this article is very well researched and I think it would have a good chance of also passing a featured article nomination. --Tom (LT) (talk) 00:43, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
