GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
A few typos I'm correcting. Lead might need some rewriting?
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
No references in "Demographics", but otherwise very good
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
The article essentially describes current immigration patterns, but gives little information about background: Why are there only two short sentences about immigration before 2001? The article completely neglects historical immigration; No information about public opinion; Not much information about the effects the immigration has had
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
Reasonable
It is 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):
Only one image; if you can get any more it would help. No alt text, but that is not required for GA
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
Fail for now: Not convinced about completeness

War on Terror edit

Latest comment: 13 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

no need to compare pakistan to india or that immigration is low due to war on terror because A) war on terror has had no effect on immigration to pakistan B) indian page does not talk about war in kashmir, or ne india or anti immigrant views in mumbai —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.1.250.215 (talk) 04:10, 31 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
