Hi, this looks interesting -- will have a read and leave comments over the next day or two. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 09:58, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

• It is reasonably well written.

  a (prose): b (MoS):

Made a few minor copyedits to mix up the prose a bit and fix a typo or two so just let me know if I inadvertently altered the meaning of anything...

• It is factually accurate and verifiable.

  a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

• It is broad in its coverage.

  a (major aspects): b (focused):

• It follows the neutral point of view policy.

  a (fair representation): b (all significant views):

• It is stable.

  No edit wars etc.:

• It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.

  a (tagged and captioned): b (lack of images does not in itself exclude GA): c (non-free images have fair use rationales):

Only suggestions (not affecting pass/fail) are: 1) you could alternate the image placement nicely by moving the second image to the left; 2) you might consider swapping the image of Ezra Lee with the following image of the guy in the cutaway, reason being that Ezra Lee is not mentioned in the prose until the following section (also I was confused because the section where Lee's image appears now mentions Bushnell's brother Ezra, and I thought the picture referred to him, even with a different surname)!

• Overall:

  a Pass/Fail:

I really can't fault anything, it looks well-written/sourced/illustrated so happy to pass -- well done! Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 02:09, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to review it. I hear your point on the Ezra confusion... Magic♪piano 12:15, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
