This article lists those who have received the highest grades of one of the orders of knighthood in the UK at a time when Britain was a leading power in the world. Due to the number of people awarded the honour since it was founded in 1896, it seems sensible to split it into appointments by reign, and this is the third one I've brought to FLC so far, covering the appointments made by Edward VIII (reigned 1936). It is short, but one of the delegates believes it passes criterion 3, so I am giving it a shot. I believe the article is well-written, with a lead which introduces and summarises the topic well. This article follows the same format as the list of Edward VII's appointments which was promoted to FL in March. It is complete and all items in the list are reliably sourced, as is the lead. Many thanks, —Noswall59 (talk) 08:00, 27 August 2015 (UTC).[reply]
- Please note that I will be unable to respond to queries between the 8th and 16th September.
Comments, all in all a pretty tidy piece of work. I have a few minor points:
- "the remainder was the Lord Mayor of London" As there was only one "remainder" I personally think "other" would be a better choice of word than "remainder".
- Done
- "to the 15 July 1936" Should just be "to 15 July 1936".
- Done
- Could the Date of appointment column be made slightly wider in the first table so that the header fits on one line, as in the second list? It would be even nicer if the columns lined up between the two tables!
- Done
- The notes should all finish with full-stops.
- Done
- Use {{abbr|Ref|References}} to display Ref in the table header (and be consistent between the two lists whether you use the full-stop at the end: I prefer it without.)
- Done
- The references could do with expansion: royal.gov.uk and gg.ca would be better written out as The British Monarchy and The Governor General of Canada. Similarly, debretts.com could be Debrett's. The London Gazette articles need dates of publication. Harrias talk 20:58, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Driveby comment - I would like to see some sort of navbox to connect all the RVO-by-monarch lists; it's not currently a quick task to jump from this list to the similar lists from other monarchs, and it should be. --PresN 20:28, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @PresN: Thanks for the comment—I've had a go at creating a template containing all the links. I haven't got round to creating all the articles and this project is very much a work in progress, so I've included red links too. Hopefully this makes navigating it easier. Any further comments would by greatly appreciated. Best wishes, —Noswall59 (talk) 13:13, 7 September 2015 (UTC).[reply]
- Also, as I state above, I will not be around from tomorrow to the 16th, but I will be back and responding to comments thereafter. Thanks again, —Noswall59 (talk) 13:14, 7 September 2015 (UTC).[reply]
Unfortunately, with almost 2 months passed without a support, I'm going to have to close this nomination as not passed. Fee free to renominate; and note that the easiest way to convince other people to review your nomination is to review theirs first. --PresN 14:03, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
