 Working Will aim to complete the review in the next couple of days. Grondemar 04:44, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, here's my review. Sorry for taking so long.

  • The lead needs to be expanded and rewritten to be a better summary of the article. See WP:LEAD for guidance.
  • In the Development section: "In the late 1950s, the United Kingdom, France, United States and Soviet Union were considering developing supersonic transport." You should explain why; this is important background information.
  • Why is http://www.rpec.co.uk/engineerswalk/ar_walk.html a reliable source?
  • There are many, many parts of the article that are uncited. I added [citation needed] tags where I felt a citation was appropriate. The Flight characteristics section has only one citation total.
  • It would be nice to remove the many (statements in parentheses) and incorporate them into the text; the general features section has a especially large number of them.
  • File:Concorde under Verrazano Bridge.jpg: The licensing statement says: This image is copyrighted. The copyright holder allows anyone to use it for any purpose, provided that the copyright notice "© 2004 Metropolitan Transportation Authority" is included. However, the link provided to substantiate the copyright assertion is dead. I think this needs to go through WP:OTRS to verify the MTA's permission.

Due to the large number of needed citations, I don't think this article can be improved to meet the GA criteria within the normal seven-day hold period. Therefore, I am failing the article at this time. It can be resubmitted when the above issues are addressed.

GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
