Overall:

Recent GA nominee approved, no neutrality problems, no grammar or spelling mistakes, and on obvious problems with the article. It is a really interesting article and I hope a lot of people see it when it goes up. IMO ALT1 is more interesting as all of the men being executed is more interesting than them manning some weapons.
