- Nominator(s): User:Kooosar (talk)
I am nominating this for featured article because I believe it is complete and ready to be a featured article. It has almost been five years since it was published. I worked for over two years to gather information and sources by meeting with concerned people with the article. Also, before publishing the article, I have submitted the article to English language professionals at Oklahoma State University and St. Thomas University in Houston for review.
- Oppose - Too many images, too many quotes, several unreferenced sections, and the article does not follow the WP:MOS — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:18, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, suggest withdrawal - Hello Kooosar, and thank you for your interest in improving this article. I agree with most of the concerns raised by Crisco above, and suggest that this article might benefit from a good or peer review prior to bringing it here, as at this point it doesn't really meet the FA criteria. Some more specific suggestions:
- Aim for a minimum of one citation per paragraph, usually more
- Rather than including extensive quotes, try summarizing the salient points (with citations) and quoting only the key phrases
- Try to be consistent in how you present material, particularly in citations - several of your current citations are incomplete
- Be very careful with image licensing. I notice that many of the images used were uploaded by you, with the claim that you hold the copyright. Keep in mind that being the uploader does not give you copyright, or the right to release images from copyright. Nikkimaria (talk) 19:11, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
