I am nominating this for featured article because it is well written and perfectly accurate, and is among one of the best articles on Wikipedia. KingOfTheLynn (talk) 19:51, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: My initial concern was that the nominator has 0 edits to the article and no evidence of previous interest in it, despite a eulogistic nom statement. Are the regular editors satisfied that the article, as it now is, fulfils all the FA criteria? Assuming that they are, perhaps they would comment on the choice of the texts that form the bibliography: the egregious Crawfie, Brandreth, Jennie Bond - these are not historians of substance. Ben Plimlott is, yet he is relegated to Further Reading. The popular writers and magazine journalists have their place but frankly, in an encyclopedia article on the long-time Head of State of a major Western country, I would have expected a greater weighting towards scholarship. From a glance at the sources there is a sense of Elizabeth-lite. Brianboulton (talk) 18:11, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
