- 16px Article's new, long enough, sourced. Great work Template:U. It's good to go. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 08:22, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
- This is the kind of quality work that we should be featuring. Since the article has an excellent public domain image, how about adding the image and considering it for a lead position? Cbl62 (talk) 16:35, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah it should be. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 17:09, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

- What does "strategically illuminated" mean? Sounds like an odd choice of words to me, I'm sure it would be fine with just "were illuminated to". Other than that, looks good. --Pudeo' 05:45, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
- Template:Ping Yeah it's too complicated word to put in the hook, remove it then. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 16:53, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
- Since when is "strategically" too complicated a word? That's hilarious. Like... too difficult to look up? "Done strategically" means done with a strategy, a plan: first we, Ford, chose concise words to convey the birthday message, figured out a way to spell the words using the limited matrix of available "pixels", made sure all the bulbs were working, made sure no "dark windows" would be in use, made sure no one inadvertently cut lights on or off, got corporate approval, kept the plan sufficiently secret that it didn't leak out and ruin the "surprise" aspect, tested out the strategy. etc. The second largest automobile manufacturer in the country didn't send some guy in to flip on some lights without a plan; it was done with careful forethought. How do we know this? Both citations for the illumination say that it was executed "strategically." Like the execution of the illumination, the word choice itself was also... er.. strategic. Lol. :) 842U (talk) 17:47, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
