I'm going to be reviewing over the next couple of hours. —Bloom6132 (talk) 08:42, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
Syntax and word choice meet the standard set out by the criteria.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
Broad and comprehensive array of reliable sources used. No original research identified. No copyvio or plagiarism spotted – Earwig's detector says "violation unlikely" and any use of same/similar terms can be attributed to WP:LIMITED.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Focused and does not delve into trivia. However, the only minor concern I have is the "Early life" section looks a bit thin. Any possibility of expanding it a little?
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
Factual and balanced coverage given, leaving little (if any) possibility for bias.
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
None – only 2 editors (including nominator) have edited the article since it was nominated for GAN.
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Both images are free and in public domain. Captions are succinct.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Additional comments–

The last two sources (refs #45 and #46) should include the article titles. However, since these are minor copyedit-like changes, I've taken the liberty to correct them myself.
I understand that there probably aren't many sources covering Scott's early life. It's a minor concern now at GA level, but will likely have to be addressed if you wish to take this further. I'll try hunting for some myself, and if I can't find anything decent, I'll give this the green light and pass it. —Bloom6132 (talk) 09:57, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've combed through Google Books and HighBeam over the past day. I found several trivial tidbits like his knack for bridge and how his nickname was derived from his quiet demeanour. However, I still couldn't find any info regarding his early life. Given that this is the case, and that this was my only (minor) beef with an otherwise concise and decent article, I'll be passing this. —Bloom6132 (talk) 13:07, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Bloom6132: Thanks! I'll take a look at those links and add anything else I can. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:03, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
