GA Review

Hi! I'll take this article for review. I should have a full review up within the day. Dana boomer (talk) 16:25, 24 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

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):  
    • Watch out for "weasel words", including "apparently", "are considered", etc. These need to be carefully verified and sourced.
    • There are numerous lists of information that are indiscriminate, unsourced, and/or could be better presented as prose. For example, the entire Agriculture section needs to be reworked: properly sourced, lists and bullet points transformed into prose, etc.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):  
    • This is the area where the article majorly fails the GA criteria. It is significantly under-referenced, with entire sections missing references. What references are in the article are generally incomplete, and in a few cases are simply bare urls.
  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):  
    • Image galleries are discouraged. Appropriate images should be placed throughout the article, and a link to Commons will suffice for the remainder.
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  
    At this point, the sourcing and prose/list issues are too big for the article to be brought up to standard within the normal GAN period. Due to this, I am failing the article's GA nomination. The article may be renominated when the identified issues have been addressed. Because of the major issues already identified, I have not completed full checks of prose, image licensing, scope/focus or NPOV. Please make sure that these areas are also meet the GA criteria before renominating the article. Dana boomer (talk) 17:15, 24 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

The Honorable Mayor of Sta Maria

Municipality of Sta Maria Sta Maria, Bulacan

Sir:

Greetings to you Sir and to the Honorable Vice Mayor and the Honorable Municipal councilors of the municipality.

Please do something about the perenial heavy traffic congestion along the connecting road just after the north expresway going towards Bagbaguin. Perhaps we can appeal to the national government to put another exit right after the Bocaue exit towards north to connect Guyong to the North expresway in order to decongest the daily, heavy traffic in the area.

Moreover, please extend the services of the water district to the Cityland Bulacan Heights.

POV and promotional statements

edit

The 3rd paragraph stated that:

Santa Maria's total bank deposits reached PHP 17.3 billion as of June 2016, this accounts for almost 75% of eastern Bulacan's total bank deposits and dwarfing other cities and municipalities in the country. ... It has a relatively high standard of living, with only 4% of the population living in poverty which is one of the lowest in the Philippines.

The statements in italics are not in the references but are improper editorial synthesis to imply a new (and POV) conclusion, see WP:SYNTHESIS. Furthermore, they are clearly promotional statements, against WP:PROMOTION. Therefore these statements are against WP policy and will be removed. If disagree, discuss here before reinstating it. -- P 1 9 9   14:30, 21 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
