that day." Main text says: "In 1931 Douglas undertook training for the Hendon Air Show. Two pilots had been killed attempting aerobatics. The pilots were warned not to practice these manoeuvres under 2,000 feet and to keep above 500 feet at all times. Nevertheless, on 14 December 1931, while visiting Reading Aero Club, he attempted some low-flying aerobatics at Woodley airfield in a Bulldog Mk. IIA, K1676, of 23 Squadron, apparently on a dare." There had been some information in the previous section about when he was training in 1930 that "Receiving jibes from a rival squadron (No. 25 Squadron RAF), Bader took off to perform aerobatics and show off his skill." It's not clear what is going on, and the prose doesn't help. Bader "took off to perform..." - and then what? We are, to coin a pun, left in the air! I feel the lead section could do with an overhaul - make Bader's notability clearer in the opening sentence, reduce clutter. Make sure that important details in lead and main text match up. Make sure that the lead does adequately cover the main aspects of Bader's life.

what I discover to see if the article covers the main points, and hasn't left out negative or significant alternative views. Then I will check random cites in the article to ensure what is said in the article is what is said in the source. If the cites I randomly check are fine, then I feel comfortable that the article can be trusted; but if one or other of my checks turns up a problem then I will do more checking, and if necessary will fail the article. Different reviewers will approach things differently, though I'd be disappointed if someone passed as GA or FA an article where they hadn't bothered to check if the contents were correct. I'll be starting to make some comments shortly.

was here that he got his first glimpse of a Spitfire." Who got a first glimpse? It reads as though it is Stephenson, though I think the intention was Bader. "After the French campaign, the RAF prepared for the coming Battle of Britain in which the Luftwaffe intended to achieve air superiority before attempting to launch an invasion of Britain, codenamed Operation Sealion." Operation Sealion could be the codename for a number of items in that sentence - Britain, the invasion, the French campaign, or the RAF preparations. I recommend asking someone from

statements in the article. It doesn't take that long. The actual speed of a review, as I said, will vary, but I am not deliberately slow, though I would tend to prioritise checking the article than hurrying the review. I note on your userpage that you've been through a few GA reviews, so you know that they tend to vary. I also note that in one GA review the reviewer did explicitly say they were AGF regarding the sources. I have left a message for that reviewer as I would be interested to learn where this notion is coming from. Our guidelines -

little tightening up in that area should be enough, though it would help to get some experienced writers to do it from the Guild of copy-editors. It needs closer inline sourcing, so readers can directly check a statement, and it would be helpful to use the standard full citation style, rather than the short style, especially as some of the statements are quite personal, and quite strong. More coverage of Bader's life after the RAf, his Legacy, his combat technique, his charity work, and the book and film of his life would be useful.

It is even more important here than for the rest of the article that the text be accessible. Consideration should be given to creating interest in reading the whole article. (See news style and summary style.) This allows editors to avoid lengthy paragraphs and over-specific descriptions, because the reader will know that greater detail is saved for the body of the article." The detail regarding planes shot down is perhaps too much for the opening sentence, and the number of honours might be reduced per

circumstances. Also, as we are all volunteer workers on this charity educational project sometimes real life intervenes to slow things down. Sometimes people wait for months for a review, sometimes a review is picked up quickly by a reviewer. It's fairly random. Speed, unfortunately, is not something that is built into the system. Sometimes when people want a quick review they may directly ask a GA reviewer they know to look at an article. I've been asked several times, and I don't mind doing that.
1203:? Given that a number of people will know about Bader from the film, a section on the making of both film and book, and Bader's involvement would be useful. What is Shell Aircraft Ltd? What achievements (if any) did Bader make as chairman? Was it purely a honorary title, or did he actually do something. Given Bader's personality, I can't imagine him accepting an empty post - I think he'd want a challenge. And it might be appropriate to mention the Bader Foundation in the Legacy section. 517: 480: 437: 401: 621: 605: 577: 529: 468: 641: 552: 496: 1366:
that the basis for the article appears to be unsound, and therefore each statement will need checking, and thorough research will need to be done to ensure that there are no more significant mistakes and omissions, I think it would be better to close the review to allow people time to do the appropriate research and writing needed to bring this up to GA standards, and then to apply again.
42: 664:. On the question of decorations/awards, I note there isn't a specific section for that, nor one to overview Bader's impact and legacy. There is a Tributes section. I am wondering if a Legacy section might be helpful. Perhaps a Legacy section, with a subsection for Awards and or Tributes. It's just a suggestion. 1061:

The short system can be improved by having a second click through to the detailed list, though this can be avoided by simply using the standard full citation method.

Dapi89, the nominator, has informed me that he will be unable to pay much attention to this review for the rest of the month, and has requested the GA be closed. Normally, as long there is progress being made, there is no need for a GA review to be closed because a nominator drops out. However, given

There is much to like about this article. Information has been collected and presented in a logical manner. The prose could do with a decent copy-edit as it is inappropriate for an encyclopaedia; this may be due to sticking too closely to the source texts, which would be written with drama in mind. A

There is almost nothing about Bader's career after he left the RAF, yet we are told that his "workload was exhausting", and "Throughout later life, he campaigned for the disabled and in 1976 was knighted for his services." Indeed he also got a CBE for his services for the disabled. What did he do? It

For various reason, as detailed above, this does not currently meet GA criteria, and there is insufficient progress on attending to the issues, so I am closing this as a fail.

The prose is a little unclear in places. And sometimes uses casual language - "Douglas pestered the Air Ministry for a posting" - "pestered" is inappropriate, as is use of the first name. "Squadron Leader Geoffrey Stephenson, a close friend from his Cranwell days, was the commanding officer, and it

Details in the lead should follow those in the main text. Lead says: "In 1928, Bader joined the RAF. On 14 December 1931 at Woodley airfield near Reading, he lost both his legs in an aircraft crash attempting a slow roll at very low level following jibes about his not wanting to perform aerobatics

Interesting topic, and a detailed looking article. I'm a little daunted that all the sources are print, as that will delay checking references; but it's possible that some of the texts will either be available in my local library or will be digitised on Google Books. I'll read the article over the

odd that a reviewer operates on that basis. I have never heard of this 'hard ass' approach before. I appreciate the principle and thoroughness, don't get me wrong, but it just seems way over the top. Still, there isn't much controversy over this subject. My main concern is that your approach will

I ordered the books that my library had, which should be more than sufficient - they didn't have Mackenzie. I don't actually read the books I get for GA reviews from cover to cover - it's a spot check. I dip in here and there, look at the contents page, at the index, and check out a couple of
