I will review. Pyrotec (talk) 08:48, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Initial comments[edit]

I've now had a quick read of this article and at this stage of the review it appears to be at GA-level: it appears to be well referenced, well illustrated and comprehensive. I'm now going to work my way through the article in more detail starting at History, working to the end and then coming back to check the WP:Lead. The requirements can be found in WP:WIAGA. I suspect that will take another day or so. Pyrotec (talk) 11:57, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

History -

Looks OK & compliant with WP:WIAGA.

Architecture & 20th century -

These two sections look OK & compliant.

However, ref 22 (Shepp, Jonah (11 December 2011)) has a broken link that leads to google search page and a 404 error - Sorry, the page you were looking for could not be found Showing related results for: http://archive.jordantimes.com/?news=15718

Military base, Development plans & Successor schools -

These three sections look OK & compliant.

Thanks! Just to note that I searched for other sources to verify the information that I read in the Jordan Times article, but I cannot find anything as comprehensive. I can't believe they pulled it off their website within 3 months! Yoninah (talk) 13:57, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was just about to send you a note, I don't need to now. Congratulations again on the article. Pyrotec (talk) 14:00, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
