Issy Smith

This article is about an obscure yet highly notable subject. The primary editor, SoLando, has done an outstanding job in marshalling very limited reliable source material into an interesting, tightly-written, thoroughly-researched, comprehensive, and well-referenced piece. It became an A-Class article earlier today with unanimous unconditional support. --ROGER DAVIES ^TALK 16:45, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support looks good, all the I's are dotted and all the t's crossed. TomStar81 (Talk) 03:25, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support. An interesting article that meets the criteria. Cla68 00:08, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support I was one of the 4 peer reviewers of the article and also one of the A-Class reviewers who were impressed with the quality and direction of the prose. I have gone and done a few little WP:MOS fixes such as WP:DASH and WP:MOSNUM with regards to some of the dates. I have only a couple of minor points? Why spoil the article with one red link? ;) make a stub if you please. Also the one sentence that i had a slight query with was the sentence "Smith attempted politics". (Para 2 of Legacy) Could it not be Smith attempted to enter politics or Smith tried to enter the political arena? Something to that effect? attempted politics seems to be wrong somehow. Anyway it is a great article and meets all the criteria as far as i can see. Good work SoLando. Woodym555 14:58, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1. What red link? (he asked innocently). 2. Changed to "tried politics" (which Google likes).--ROGER DAVIES ^TALK 16:20, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yep rewording looks good (and so does the stub by the way!!! ;) The wording was only the slightest of changes, but it just didn't look good to me. It is a great article. Well done. Woodym555 16:32, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
