GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


Quite a readable and well-referenced article.

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:  
    B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:  
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:  
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:  
    C. No original research:  
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:  
    B. Focused:  
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:  
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:  
    Well illustrated.
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:  
    Well illustrated.
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:  
    The WP:Lead is rather "thin": it is intended to provide both an introduction to the article (which it does); and provide a summary of the main points. The first paragraph appears to be the introduction and this paragraph: "The cathedral's architect was Englishman Frederick Gibberd, the winner of a worldwide design competition. Construction began in 1962, and took five years. Earlier designs for a Catholic cathedral in Liverpool had been proposed in 1853, 1933, and 1953, but none were completed." appears to be the summary. I suggest this second paragraph needs some expansion, i.e. no mention of the crypt, the circular plan being driven by the need for a central altar and an existing crypt, structral problems, etc, etc. Despite the poor lead, I'm awarding this article GA-status.
