GA concerns
editI am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:
- The article contains numerous uncited statements and paragraphs.
- The "Modern period" section is disorganised and does not contain much information on post-1910 practices.
Is anyone interested in fixing up this article? If not, should it go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 17:32, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- It contains a few, for example the bit on the Butler-Bowden Cope. But this has an article, with a link to the V&As page. If you are so "concerned" you should consider DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT YOURSELF. I'm getting fed up with your frequent demands, turning up on my (34K) watchlist, for others to do work. I daresay the last century has been a rather quiet time in English embroidery, and the modern section seems to me to meet GA standards. Johnbod (talk) 18:19, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Johnbod: I think the modern section could be expanded, but I think the multiple uncited paragraphs cause this article not to meet the GA criteria. Are you (or anyone else reading this) interested in finding sources for this information, or should this be posted to GAR to see if someone else steps up with the increased attention it might get there?
