GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose):   b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):  
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):  
  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, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  
  • "is the name of the a 1976 illustration by Saul Steinberg that served as the cover of the March 29, 1976 edition of The New Yorker."
    • Fixed.--13:40, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
  • "The work is presented from the perspective that Manhattan is the center of the world." - I don't think the usage of "that" is correct in this case (also odd usage of passive voice): "The work presents the view from Manhatten on the rest of the world"
  • "that Steinberg's copyright had been violated." - ditto. Something like: because of copyright violations by Columbia"
  • "It is also considered an example of something that has made a person famous for the wrong reason." - perhaps: "It is considerd an example of unintentional fame", elaborate.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:52, 8 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
    • What do you think of the change?
  • "The illustration is split in two parts"
  • "New York presented the interpretation that the New York-centric mind's view of the rest of the world as a set of outer boroughs is what is iconic about the subject.[9]" - New York intepreted the New York-centric mind's view of the rest of the world as a set of outer boroughs as iconic"
  • "Fulford, while writing in The National Post,"
  • " Fulford pointed out a high school in suburban Ottawa made imitating this work an assignment in its graphic arts class," - I don't understand
  • "which held that Columbia Pictures violated the copyright that Steinberg held on his work."
  • "with apologies to steinberg" - should Steinberg be in uppercase? If not then suggest adding a sic note
  • "that discussed the rise to prominence of the Chinese economy at the time of the the contemporary financial crisis.[13]" - perhaps replace the underlined with "burgeoning" or something similar
  • Ref 2 has no publisher--Kürbis (✔) 11:26, 8 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
