Reviewer: Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:39, 24 October 2010 (UTC) GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria[reply]

Is it reasonably well written?
A. Prose quality:
I'm not used to seeing "in Ordinary" capitalized in modern histories.

B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
Places of publication for all references would be nice, but not required.
Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
A. References to sources:

B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

C. No original research:
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. Major aspects:
Is Romney named for anything? Link Captain, Rear-Admiral and Vice-Admiral. Fix the red link in the infobox.

B. Focused:
Is it neutral?
Fair representation without bias:
Is it stable?
No edit wars, etc:
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:
Overall:
Pass or Fail:

Issues fixed. For the name, I presume it's named for the Earl of Romney, but can't find a cite for that. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 23:18, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Quite likely, but as it's unconfirmed...--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:33, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
