Overall comments Dr. Blofeld, outstanding job! This article meets all the GA criteria, but I had two comments/questions before its final passage. Once these have been addressed, I think the article will be good to go! -- Caponer (talk) 01:19, 11 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

File:Ocean Village berths with rock behind.jpg has been released into the public domain, but it is not licensed with a specific license. Is this a deal breaker for GA? I noticed it was utilized as an image for DYK, but not sure if this is alright for GA. I'm sure it is, but I wanted to address my uncertainty.
As a non-Gibraltarian, I'm unfamiliar with the description in the location section. A corresponding map would be helpful for users to place the marina's location within Gibraltar. Would it be possible to include the locator map utilized in the article for Gibraltar International Airport? File:Gibraltar map-en-edit2.svg is a featured image, so it would be well suited for inclusion, although I'd leave it up to you to decide its placement location--perhaps in the info box.

Thanks for the review Caponer! I believe "released into the public domain" is an acceptable license on here. Added map!♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:52, 11 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Alright Dr. Blofeld! It looks like we have a Good Article here! Thank you for your timely response, and for the addition of the map. As always, it's been a privilege working with you throughout this process, and I commend you again for your patience. -- Caponer (talk) 10:00, 11 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Cheers and likewise. I made a map with a big label so it can be seen from thumbnail.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:02, 11 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
