GA Review

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
Hi there, I am happy to tell you that this article has passed GA without the need for any further improvement. In fact, with the exception of the concerns I have listed below, I think this is a brilliant article. Listed below is information on how the article fared against the Wikipedia:good article criteria, with suggestions for future development. These are not required to achieve GA standard, but they might help in future A-class or FAC review process.--Jackyd101 (talk) 14:15, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

• It is reasonably well written.

  a (prose): b (MoS):

• Very good, a solid 8/10. There are a few areas that need slight copyediting, but on the whole very well written.
• An MOS thing: please ensure that you are consistent in the use of ship prefixes (i.e. HMAS, HMS, USS etc). These should be used the first time the ship is mentioned (i.e. when it is linked) and afterwards the name alone is sufficient. When listing a number of ships, all those linked should have the prefix, not just the first one in the list.

• It is factually accurate and verifiable.

  a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

• It is broad in its coverage.

  a (major aspects): b (focused):

• Very comprehensive, although I have a concern that some areas, especially the campaign in the Solomons and New Guinea, are not fully developed on wiki and thus are not linked or included in this article. I noticed that the article as a whole avoids red links as much as possible, which is fine but the primary contributors should be careful to update these links as and when the articles are created.

• It follows the neutral point of view policy.

  a (fair representation): b (all significant views):

• It is stable.

  

• It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.

  a (tagged and captioned): b (lack of images does not in itself exclude GA): c (non-free images have fair use rationales):

• Overall:

  a Pass/Fail:

Thankyou and congratulations, an excellent addition to Wikipedia:Good Articles. All the best.
