GA Sweeps: On hold

As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing Sweeps to determine if the article should remain a Good article. In reviewing the article, I have found there are several issues that needs to be addressed. This is a preliminary review, as I'm only pointing out the most pressing issues. If the below issues are addressed I'll then point out what else the article needs to remain a GA.

1. All of the citation needed tags need to be addressed. Some have been tagged since February 2007.
2. Can the "First use" section be expanded? If not, the section should be merged into another section.
3. The article has multiple dead links that need to be fixed. The Internet Archive can help.
4. Some of the citations need be more descriptive. Include the author, title, date, publisher, accessdate, etc. The citation templates at WP:CITET can help.
5. Can any more images be added to the article (preferably free)?

I will review the prose of the article once the above issues are addressed. I will leave the article on hold for seven days, but if progress is being made and an extension is needed, one may be given. If no progress is made, the article may be delisted, which can then later be renominated at WP:GAN. I'll contact all of the main contributors and related WikiProjects so the workload can be shared. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 01:26, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

GA Sweeps: Delisted

The article has been on hold for a week and none of the issues were addressed. As a result I have delisted the article as it still has a way to go before meeting the GA criteria. Continue to improve the article, addressing the issues above. Once they are addressed, please renominate the article at WP:GAN. I look forward to seeing the further improvement of the article, and don't hesitate to contact me if you need assistance with any of these. If you disagree with this review, a community consensus can be reached at WP:GAR. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Happy editing!
