The '''Thompson trophy''' race was one of the [[National Air Races]] of the heyday of early airplane racing in the 1930's. Established in 1929, the last race was held in 1961. The race was 10 miles long with 50-foot-high pylons marking the turns, and emphasized low altitude flying and maneuverability at high speeds. As the race was flown around a closed course, crowds in the grandstands could easily see much of the spectacle.

* Survey articles to make sure a balance is maintained between film and novel references where applicable; it should not be forgotten that the books came first (there are occasional articles such as [[List of James Bond henchmen]] that profess to reference the novels but only contain film-based information). Articles on characters that appear in both the novels and the films should always include information on their literary counterparts.

*Occasionally review all articles that have been placed on the [[:Wikipedia:WikiProject James Bond/Articles]] page for [[Special:Recentchangeslinked/Wikipedia:WikiProject James Bond/Articles|recent changes]].

*Cite sources on [[James Bond]]. This will greatly help it to featured status, the current Mission of the Week.
