Hi! I'll review this article for GA status, and should have a full review up shortly. Dana boomer (talk) 16:44, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written.
a (prose):  b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): 
I'm seeing a combination of British and American English - both traveled and travelled, for example, and honor and honour.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section):  b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR): 

It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects):  b (focused): 

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias: 

It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.: 

It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales):  b (appropriate use with suitable captions): 
In the infobox of File:Thomas Pownall.jpg, it says the licensing is based on author life + 70. However, the tag is based on pre-1923 publication. I think the infobox is correct, but either way, it needs to be fixed so they both say the same thing.
Overall:
Pass/Fail: 
I am passing this article GA nomination. I found two minor niggles on prose and images, but neither are significant enough to hold up the nomination. Very nice work, Dana boomer (talk) 18:38, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
I took care of the little things.  Thanks for the review! Magic♪piano 01:47, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

"Whatever the reason, the Board of Trade engaged in a reshuffling of colonial positions after King George II died, and Pownall was given the governorship of South Carolina, and permission to first take leave in England. His departure from Boston was delayed by militia recruiting issues and the need to deal with the aftermath of a major fire in the city, and he did not leave until June 1760."  George II did not die until October 1760, so it cannot be, as this sentence suggests, that he received leave to return to England sometime prior to June as a consequence of the King's death.
