One fair use relevant image and the article is stable. Will continue later. No Great Shaker (talk) 07:31, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

The article is fine and I'm promoting it to GA. Quite a bit of copyediting was necessary but nothing major so, instead of creating a list here and putting everything on hold, I made the necessary changes. One thing you need to watch is conflicting use of sfn and harvnb. I prefer sfn so I transferred the two or three harvnb citations to sfn format, for consistency and efficiency reasons, and added ref=harv to the three books concerned.

Some reviewers might say the article is too short at 3,782b and 628 words of readable prose size, but I would strongly disagree. Obviously, there is scope for expansion but that might well introduce excessive unnecessary detail. I doubt if there is much more that can be said about Nicholas Colasanto within a summary article and so it does comply with both GACR 3a and 3b.

Well done. Geronimo! No Great Shaker (talk) 09:41, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
