Checking against GA criteria
edit- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
- The prose is not good, I made a few copy-edits[2] but the whole article could do with a thorough copy-edit to render it into good plain English.
- The lead does not thoroughly summarise the article, please see and apply WP:LEAD.
- a (prose):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references):
b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- "Ercole Manfredi: One of the great architects of Bangkok (1883–1973)" could do with an ISBN
- Sources appear to be RS
- The sources that I could checkn supported the cited statements. Assume good faith for the others.
- No evidence of WP:OR
- a (references):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- Good coverage, without unnecessary trivia.
- a (major aspects):
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- NPOV
- Fair representation without bias:
- It is stable.
- No edit wars, etc.:
- Stable
- No edit wars, etc.:
- 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):
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):
- Overall:
- Pass/Fail:
- On hold for seven days for a thorough copy-edit. Jezhotwells (talk) 21:24, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
- Pass/Fail:
- I went through the article text, revising the lead and rearranging the Architecture section into proper prose while converting the section's last paragraph (and the Painting section) to a list. Is this an improvement, or should I enlist further help from the Copyeditors' Guild? --Paul_012 (talk) 10:03, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
- You need to convert the lists to prose, it still needs a copy-edit, solitary sentences need consolidating into paragraphs. still much work to be done. Jezhotwells (talk) 23:22, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
- Not quite sure how to convert the lists to prose and still keep them readable; information from the sources is pretty limited. I've placed a request at the Copy Editors' Guild, but given the backlog there it might take some time. Probably this could be closed first; I'll renominate after the required work's done. --Paul_012 (talk) 03:27, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
- OK, that is probably the best course. You could also ask for help at the projects whose banners are on the talk page. I would also recommend a peer review before renominating. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:02, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Copy editing complete
editHello. I performed a copy edit of this article as per the request that was made at the Guild of Copy Editors WikiProject. I feel it should satisfy the requirements for GA criteria. In my opinion, I think the only thing that is left to take care of is to expand the lead. After that, I think it will be ready for GA review. --Tea with toast (話) 07:17, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
