Hi, I will be reviewing this against the GA criteria as part of a GAN sweep. I'll leave some comments soon. JAGUAR  18:37, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

Checking against the GA criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   "The school was founded in 1954, first began holding classes in 1955" - unnecessary comma. The school was founded in 1954 and first began holding classes in 1955

   • Fixed --Kjp993 (talk) 03:04, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

   "It is affiliated with St. Peter's Seminary and the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada" - this should be merged into the second paragraph, so the lead comprises of two paragraphs

   • Thanks, re-worded --Kjp993 (talk) 03:04, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

   Mission section is unnecessary. You could easily collapse it into a note?

   • Removed --Kjp993 (talk) 03:04, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

   The Founding of the college section contains many choppy sentences which should be merged together to create paragraphs. Also, a lot of it is unsourced

   • Thanks, re-worded and removed unsourced content --Kjp993 (talk) 03:04, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

   Name change section is unsourced. And who are the UWO?

   • Thanks, re-worded and added citations --Kjp993 (talk) 03:04, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

   "King's University College is situated in the city of London, Ontario, located in the southwestern end of the Quebec City – Windsor Corridor. The university college is located adjacent to the Thames River, across from the Richmond Gates of University of Western Ontario. The majority of the campus is surrounded by residential neighbourhoods, with Epworth Ave bisecting the campus." - needs a citation

   • Added a ctiation --Kjp993 (talk) 03:04, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

   The majority of the Academic facilities section needs to be sourced

   • Thanks, added citations --Kjp993 (talk) 03:04, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

   The first paragraph of the Housing and student facilities section reads like original research and is not verifable

   • Removed --Kjp993 (talk) 03:04, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

   Academics and notable people section are completely unsourced. I couldn't find anything to back it up

   • Thanks, re-worded and added citations --Kjp993 (talk) 03:04, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   No original research found.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   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 and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

I'm so sorry to do this, but the article is suffering from many sourcing issues which prevents this from meeting the GA criteria. It is a requirement that every claim should be backed up by a verifiable reference, and I couldn't see any in this case. Most of the references are also not formatted correctly. Please let me know if you have any questions, and of course I'll be happy to review this again. JAGUAR  19:24, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

@Jaguar: Thank you for the review. I've made an attempt to address everything, could you please take a look? I have reworded paragraphs, removed unsourced content while adding citations and updating the reference format. --Kjp993 (talk) 03:04, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
