Andrew Cunningham, 1st Viscount Cunningham of Hyndhope[edit]

I was asked to revisit my decision to fail this nomination. Since the bot has already gone through and archived it, it's easiest to start a new nomination. (previous FAC) Raul654 21:26, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - some minor queries I'd like addressed though - sorry I didn't get to this at an earlier review:
    • The line His parents were quoted as having a "strong intellectual and clerical tradition," reads oddly to me. Are we implying that his parents said that they had a "strong intellectual and clerical tradition" or did someone (possible ABC himself) say that? If the latter it should read His parents were described as having a "strong intellectual and clerical tradition," or something like that. Added your text in.
    • Similarly, By the end of his course he was quoted in his memoirs as being "anxious to seek adventure at sea". Do we mean He said in his memoirs that by the end of his course he was "anxious to seek adventure at sea".? Think the latter reads better... It does and so i have added it in.
    • I'd prefer to see a citation for He accepted this shore job with reluctance since he loathed administration, as we're ascribing a strong feeling or opinion to the man. Referenced the whole paragaph now.
    • Also found a couple of very minor style or grammatical inconsistencies which I might take the liberty of just editing in the article itself. However overall this looks a very worthy piece of work. Cheers, Ian Rose 16:16, 7 September 2007 (UTC) Thanks for the fixes that you have done so far. Woodym555 18:00, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
