  Hi @LunaEatsTuna, thanks so much for picking this one up! Hope you are feeling better. I have addressed your comments, apart from the broken DOI link (which I'm not sure how to address). Let me know if you need anything else. Unexpectedlydian^♯4talk^‽ 22:28, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

  Thanks for the well wishes! Okay, I fixed the DOI issue and am now more than happy to pass this article for GA status. Congrats! ツLunaEatsTuna (💬)— 22:45, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Copyvio check

Earwig says good to go. Quotations used in-line with WP:COPYQUOTE.

File

The image used is relevant, appropriate and of good quality:

File:Women of Britain Say - "Go" - World War I British poster by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee, art by E J Kealey (Restoration).jpg: valid public domain rationale.

Prose

• Recommend adding March 1915 to the release date parameter.
  • Done.
• Due to not having an article, could "who produced the majority of the early recruitment posters in World War I" also be added to the mention of the Parliamentary Recruitment Committee in the lead?
  • Good idea, done.
• I see its purpose, but I do not think the citation in the lead is really necessary.
  • I've had a read of MOS:LEADCITE and agree it's not particularly controversial so I've removed.
• "At the outbreak of World War I," – I would wikilink WWI here as it is relevant to the topic of this article.
  • Done.

Relatedly:

• I do not think it is necessary to wikilink Government of the United Kingdom.
  • No problem, have removed.
• "early recruitment posters in WWI." – change to World War I for consistency with the rest of the article.
  • Done.
• Is the efn note about Kealey relevant?
  • There isn't an article for Kealey and not much is known about him, so I thought some additional context might be suited in a note. I can remove if it's not relevant.
    • Seems fair enough, I'll go with your judgement.
• "of two women and young boy" – missing a.
  • Thanks! Fixed.
• "expressions and the boy holds onto one of the women." – recommend "expressions as the boy holds onto one of the women." for better flow IMO.
  • Agree, fixed.
• "average family's financial situation or their security." – recommend "average family's financial situation nor their security."
  • Thanks, have fixed.
• "The poster Academic" – Academic should be lowercase.
  • "The poster" is a typo, just fixed to "Academic".

Refs

Passes spotcheck—no concerns found with refs 1, 2, 5, 13, 17 or 22.

• Ref 4's retrieval date is italicised for some reason (0-0).
  • Ah the double apostrophes are messing up the formatting. I think I've fixed it.
    • I was wondering how that happened!
• Ref 19 is improperly formatted.
  • Thanks, fixed.
• Ref 20 does not work when clicked.
  • Thanks, fixed the typo.
• The DOI for Smith, Angela is dead.
  • Huh, no idea how to fix that as it's the DOI for the journal (see here).
    • I fixed it—it seems it was a typographical error in the article.

Other

Short description, WP:ALT text, See also, navboxes, other templates and categories all good.
