Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Sweeps 2023
GAR Sweeps 2023 is a collaborative effort to review and reevaluate old good articles. Articles were selected for this sweep that may contain unreferenced paragraphs and fail to meet the verifiability criterion.
There are different ways to participate in this project. All articles in the list below need a short initial assessment to evaluate whether they actually have verifiability problems and what other problems they may have. This assessment can be entered in the column "Comments". The reviewer can also indicate in the column "Needs GAR" whether the identified problems are severe enough to require a Good article reassessment. Reviewers are invited to participate in the GAR discussions and can try to improve the article by fixing the problems encountered. The number of GARs started from this list is limited to 12 per week to ensure that each article gets sufficient attention.
The list below includes a total of 380 articles from the time between 2006 and 2009. For each article, 6 or more unreferenced paragraphs were automatically detected by a script. However, the detections may include false positives, such as paragraphs in plot sections that do not require references (see MOS:PLOTSOURCE) and paragraphs that are artificially split into two parts because they use mathematical formulas. Paragraphs that have only references in the deprecated parenthetical style are also falsely flagged as unreferenced.
Lists last updated 11 March 2024.
