Lord Dufferin

I nominated this article on FAC a while ago (see the old nomination). It didn't garner any great support, though I tried to address the objections that were raised. I wonder if anyone's got any suggestions on what could be done to improve this article? Worldtraveller 17:29, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It looks good, and old objections are adressed. I did some minor appearance fixes. While it is a bit short (it could use more expantion at least to 32kb), this is no objection. I think it is ready for FAC again. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 11:14, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments. Having found a reference that contains information about some of Dufferin's other diplomatic postings I think I can expand the article quite a lot. Also, Fawcett5 has noticed that a lot of the Canada info is at least partially in violation of copyright, so definitely a bit of work to do now before it can be nominated for FA again.

I see you resized the image at the top. At 200px wide it looks horribly pixelated to me - that was why I'd reduced it. I think maybe it would be better to swap the two images over and have the higher-resolution portrait at the top. What do you think? Worldtraveller 14:32, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Good idea. The black&white one may be slightly decreased, but its previous tiny stamp size was too small, IMHO. I look forward to reading the rewritten article. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 21:44, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

This article has now undergone what I would characterise as an extremely productive peer review, and I believe it very close now to FAC-worthiness. Does a consensus now exist that the article is FAC-ready? If so, I will nominate it. Please comment either here or on the discussion page. Fawcett5 23:20, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
