GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

---

This is a very interesting article, about a man with a long and distinguished career. It's in very good shape, and I have reviewed it below according to the criteria for Good Articles.

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   The use of prose is good within the article and all-in-all, it is very well written.

   B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

   The layout is good, particularly the lead section which summarises the rest of the article well.

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   The article is well referenced. I've changed the link to the list of witnesses to the Iraq Enquiry to 1 February as it was linking to 11 January.

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   There are plenty of appropriately placed citations. However, could you find a reference for Baron Walker's place of birth and education?

   It is referenced. It's the very first reference (the BBC article "A Lifetime of Service"). HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:53, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

   I've copied that reference to the line. Harrison49 (talk) 22:13, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

   C. No original research:

   There does not appear to be any original research.

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   B. Focused:

   The content covers the subject well and is well-focused.

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

   It is written from a neutral point of view.

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

   The article does not appear to change detrimentally day by day.

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

   The sole image is freely licensed and uses an appropriate caption.

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   Congratulations, this is a Good Article. Harrison49 (talk) 22:13, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
