Initial review

An interesting article. It has the makings of a GA, but it does not fully comply with the requirements, see WP:WIAGA, so I'm putting the GAN On Hold so that these can be addressed.

In particular:

• The WP:lead is too short. It is required to both introduce the topic (which it does) and summarise the main features (which it does not).

Done. Lead sxpanded. ItsLassieTime (talk) 16:36, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

• The article contains many block quotations, which is acceptable; however, in-line citations must be provided linking these quotations to their sources.

Done...except for the quotation from the Edinburgh Encyclopedia. I cannot locate this. ItsLassieTime (talk) 05:24, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

• Note 1 is a broken link.

Corrected. ItsLassieTime (talk) 03:57, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

• Pepys is used as a citation, but the reference given is merely a link to Google book search. The relevant page numbers should be provided.

Done. Page number provided. ItsLassieTime (talk) 05:24, 12 March 2009 (UTC) Pyrotec (talk) 20:06, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for making these corrections, I'll continue now with the GA review.Pyrotec (talk) 17:22, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
