I am nominating this for featured article because I feel it has come a long way since it received Good Article status in April, and meets the FA criteria. ] (]) 21:14, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

'''Support''' on prose per ]. are my edits. I copyedited this yesterday, and the comments I left on the article's talk page have been resolved. I've checked the nom's edits since then. - Dank (]) 22:36, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

'''Procedural close''', unfortunately - the nominator has a nom further down the page that's only a few days old, and I don't see that he has delegate permission to have a second open, as is required by the FAC instructions. ] (]) 02:14, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
:Agreed, thanks Nikki, and thanks to Malleus for alerting me to this. One at a time at FAC, Harrison, unless the delegates say otherwise. - Dank (]) 02:18, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
::Sorry about that. I've requested the Ickenham nomination to be closed to allow for further improvements to be made. Once it is closed, could this nomination be reopened for consideration? ] (]) 10:16, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Will mark as withdrawn and ask an admin to db-g6 the nom page. Thanks for the heads up, ] (]) 13:39, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

*'''Support'''', based on prose and thoroughness of referencing (spotchecks not done). However, I noticed an issue with "... the 1969 film Battle of Britain were '''photographed''' in the 11 Group Operations Room, ..." Photographed seems odd as it implies that they were stills; if it was actual film, why not "shot" instead? ] (]) 23:40, 8 November 2011 (UTC) *'''Support'''', based on prose and thoroughness of referencing (spotchecks not done).

Thanks, I'll look into that. Also, thanks for spotting the mistake with the Battle of Britain filming. I think it had been changed during a copyedit. Harrison49 (talk) 23:48, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
