  • Age, length, and QPQ check out. The hook fact is cited inline in the article and is interesting. No plagiarism or close paraphrasing issues are apparent. I'm concerned that several of the sources are not reliable, which puts the article in breach of WP:Verifiability, a core content policy. About.com is not a reliable source. Nor is Autoswalk.com, even if that link were not dead. The "Register's Log" blog doesn't look reliable either. Beyond that, some of the sourcing is sloppy: neither source cited in the last paragraph of "Early years" mentions Cambridge Assembly or 1913. Please address the reliability of the sources and have another look over the article to make it ready for the main page. Lagrange613 19:41, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Shoot, I meant to get back to it sooner, so I will try to get back to it within the week, but please remind me if I forget, although I don't think that it will be an issue. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 00:44, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Okay, feel free to go over it now. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 01:13, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
Great, I will take a look tomorrow. Lagrange613 07:30, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Almost there. Put an inline citation on that quotation about the "artisans of Springfield" and you should be good to go. I'd also prefer inline citations for the facts that don't have them ("The Rolls-Royce factory is adjacent...", "During the war years...", "The plant was later closed in 1989...").

  • It sure is. Thanks for your patience and for your work on this valuable article. Lagrange613 07:26, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
