• Tone and Neutrality: This article at present seems to have a major problem with neutrality - I make particular reference to the section "Personality and leadership". The entire section smells like praise of the topic, which is inappropriate in an encyclopedic entry. Also, the "Early life" section reads more like a story version of a biography than an encyclopedic one. This is going to have to be changed if I'm going to pass this article. Like my singing?

:: I haven't approached this article any differently to others that have gone to G.A. and passed.

:: I can't understand how it glorifies Mckellar? Can you be more specific? Its an anaylsis of his personality by Bowyer, a prolific writer/author/historian on the subject and is sourced virtually to the word. And it hardly flattering.

:: Vis-à-vis Early Life: I can't agree here either. There is precious little and I've put everything in as per the sources.

:: I am affraid I'm reluctant to change anything, particularly without greater clarification (perhaps sentence by sentence?).

:: G.A is not the be all and end all, and I can't pass an article I don't believe is appropriate - being the interested party. Best Regards, Dapi89 (talk) 08:09, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
