I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status.

Disambiguations: I unlinked tinga and hogen as there are no suitable targets on the disambiguation pages.[1] Jezhotwells (talk) 00:39, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Linkrot: Found and fixed one.[2] Jezhotwells (talk) 00:43, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Mexican pasties are often served stuffed with typically Mexican ingredients, such as tinga and mole sauce. In Mexican Spanish, they are referred to as pastes. "tinga" needs explanation and a cite, as noted above the disambiguation page provides no useful targets. Done

   Otherwise prose is fine, complies sufficiently with MoS.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

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

   References check out, Rs, no OR

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Thorough coverage, no unnecessary detail

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, where possible and appropriate.

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

   Licensed and captioned.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   Just a minor point to address. On Hold for seven days. Jezhotwells (talk) 02:57, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

   Thanks for doing that Jezhotwells, was expecting this to take a couple of weeks. I've removed the offending line, which was there before I started editing and did not notice (did look for sources, but no luck). Hope that's good to go Worm^TT 08:14, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

   OK, that's good to go now. Congratulations! Jezhotwells (talk) 13:15, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

   Someone should of pointed out http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pasty&diff=419385902&oldid=419137929 Cornwall Vs Devon Bashing isn't acceptable for GA. But still, this article is a joy to read now. I like it allot. --Τασουλα (Shalom!) (talk) 00:21, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

   Well, I didn't see it at bashing, as the quote came from a Devon manufacturer - and since Devon and Cornwall share the same history (Dumnonia), the pasty likely originated from a place before Devon was seperate from Cornwall. (Similar with Clotted cream) So, Devon is going to be affected significantly, backed up by the source. Still, I'm happy with the refactor, so I'll say no more ;) Worm^TT · (talk) 09:15, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
