### Starting review
Thanks This is Paul for the Good Article Nomination. This is my first GAN review, so bear with me a bit, but from a brief read this article does not hit on any of the immediate failures. The article is well written and well sourced, which is a very positive sign. I only have a couple small issues with the article as of present, but it so far appears to quite comfortably meet criteria 1, 3, 4, and 5 of the good article criteria. It also meets 6 by virtue of there being no appropriate available images for the article. I will have to check 2 in more depth, but beyond that the initial review is a promising one. I hope to have an update on the review this weekend. --Andrewdwilliams (talk) 18:24, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Andrew, great to have you on board. I look forward to the review, and will do my best to address any issues you find. Thanks, This is Paul (talk) 18:38, 17 September 2016 (UTC)


### Review
@Andrewdwilliams: Thanks for the review, it's great to know I've done a reasonably good job with this. In terms of criticism, apart from the SF stuff, she hasn't attracted a great deal up until now, but the pressures of being a minister will almost certainly change that. I'll keep this up to date anyway and add anything new that comes along, and there's a load of references to archive as well. Thanks again for your help, and I look forward to you maybe reviewing some of my future GA nominations. This is Paul (talk) 16:30, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

No problem. Not your first GA I see, but the more the merrier. --Andrewdwilliams (talk) 18:39, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
