Hi, I'll be doing this review, and I'll be posting my comments here shortly. --Malleus Fatuorum 18:33, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • The GTMax image at 600px is really too big. See [1]. Images should not overwhelm the screen; 300px or so is a reasonable upper limit, but 600px is OTT.
  • The same applies to the image in the lead, it's also too prominent. It also needs a caption.
  • Unless there's good justification for doing so, it's best to keep the images at their default size. Does the picture of Michelson's pneumatic animatron really need to be so large, for instance?
  • Images in general should be inside the sections they relate to, not above the section headings. See [2].
  • Text should not be squeezed between left- and right-aligned images, as it is in Third mission.
  • Citations are much better than when I commented before, but the Fourth mission section has only one, strangely positioned after one of the numbered bullet points. What is it meant to be supporting? That bullet point or everything that's gone before?
  • I think that more needs to be said about what the rules are governing the types of vehicle that can be entered. That the computational equipment need not be carried on the aircraft itself is quite significant, for instance.
  • Looking at a few of the citations, it seems that they do not support the material they appear to be in support of. Ref #11, in Venues, for instance, doesn't even mention the competition so far as I can see. The convention is that a citation supports all of the material preceding it.

That's it for now, I'll have more later.
