I shall be reviewing this page against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:57, 12 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Quick fail criteria assessment

  1. The article completely lacks reliable sources – see Wikipedia:Verifiability.
    •  
  2. The topic is treated in an obviously non-neutral way – see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view.
    •  
  3. There are cleanup banners that are obviously still valid, including cleanup, wikify, NPOV, unreferenced or large numbers of fact, clarifyme, or similar tags.
    •  
  4. The article is or has been the subject of ongoing or recent, unresolved edit wars.
    •  
  5. The article specifically concerns a rapidly unfolding current event with a definite endpoint.
    •  

Passes when checked against quick fail criteria, on to substantive review. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:05, 12 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Checking against GA criteria

edit
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose):  
    • The lead contains a mixture of tenses, past and present. It would be preferable to put all in the past.  Y I agree with your descision to keep the first two senstences in present tense. all reads well now. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:24, 15 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
    b (MoS):  
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):  
    • The article is adequately referenced. I assume good faith for them as they are all print sources.
    b (citations to reliable sources):  
    • All reliable
    c (OR):  
  3. It is broad in its scope.
    a (major aspects):  
    b (focused):  
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars etc.:  
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):  
    b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  
    • I would like the tense of the lead to be made consistent, otherwise no problems. On hold for seven days. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:17, 12 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
    • Excellent, thanks for your hard work, I can confirm that this is worthy of Good Article status. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:24, 15 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
