M1 Garand[edit]

Nominated to see if its up to featured article status. Nominated it for featured status once before (failed), but the article has grown a lot, was wondering if there's anything else the article's many editors need to do. --Banana! 21:11, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It looks pretty good. You might compare with the Jarmann M1884, which already has FA status. My one issue is that the article asserts a number of opinions throughout the text that are not backed by references (such as an authoritative review.) There are also a number of words that could be linked, such as infantry, Europe, Winchester Repeating Arms, New Haven, Connecticut, Evansville, Indiana, Worcester, Massachusetts, Beretta, Italy, Geneseo, Illinois, Magazine (firearm) for Magazine, and clip, for example. Thanks. — RJH 20:06, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
