I've listed this article for peer review because it has changed significantly since the last peer review, and I would like to know what else must be done to get it to Good Article status.

Thanks, Mo-Al (talk) 02:21, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Finetooth comments: I'm unable to say much about the content, but I may be able to help with suggestions about technical details. These should be dealt with before you approach GAN. You might not have to write alt text for GAN, but you will certainly need to fix the technical problems with citations, dead links, disambiguation links, captions, and punctuation.

General

The dabfinder tool at the top of this review page finds five links that go to disambiguation pages rather than their intended targets.

Three of the images lack alt text, and the two that have alt text will be of little help to readers who can't see the images. If you imagine a reader who is listening to a machine reading the alt text, you will find the alt text easier to write. For example, "Major area of Central Morocco Tamazight-speakers (excluding Algeria and France)" won't help a blind reader. WP:ALT has a full explanation.
- Done In some cases I was unsure of what would be most appropriate, but I've tried to make the alt text more useful. Mo-Al (talk) 00:14, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The map in the infobox lacks a caption or any identifying information. I'm not sure what parameter might fix the infobox. I'd suggest looking at parallel situations (other language infoboxes) for models and asking editors of those pages for help if the solution is not apparent.
- Done I've followed the model of the article French language and added a legend. Mo-Al (talk) 21:19, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think the Wiki Incubator would be better placed in the External links section than at the top of the page.

The link checker tool at the top of this review page finds five dead urls in citations.
- Done I've added archived versions when possible. I'm not sure whether to delete the broken links or not. Mo-Al (talk) 04:03, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Date ranges, page ranges, and some other kinds of ranges take en dashes rather than hyphens. MOS:ENDASH has details.
- Done This one was tough, so I can't promise that I caught everything. Mo-Al (talk) 00:14, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

Many of the citations are incomplete. For example citation 61 includes only the title and url. It should also include the author (Driss Benmhend), the publisher (Wafin), and the accessdate (which could be today or the last time you checked the link to make sure it was working). When the date of publication is known, that should be included too. The various templates in the "cite" family can be helpful reminders of what information is needed and how it is to be arranged. See WP:CIT for details.
- Done I've made considerable progress on this one. I was unclear on some of the fine details, but I think that can be dealt with in GAR. Mo-Al (talk) 03:55, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
What makes the Wafin page reliable? Make sure that each of your sources is reliable as defined by WP:RS. Dot-coms may or may not be reliable.
- Doing... This is a tough one, since Berber issues attract a lot of controversy. I've made a few changes with this in mind, but finding more reliable sources to replace some of the ones currently in the article will take more work. Mo-Al (talk) 03:55, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notes and References and Bibliography

Some of the blue parts of the notes appear to be clickable but are not. For example, "Brenzinger (2007:124)' in note 1 looks clickable but is not, whereas "Souag (2004)" in note 2 looks clickable and is. "Abdel-Massih (1971b" in note 3 looks clickable but is not. These should be made to work in the same way, either all clickable or all not clickable.
- Done Fixed. It appears that Template:Harvcoltxt only works properly when referencing a citation which uses Template:citation, and not Template:cite book or Template:cite web. Mo-Al (talk) 02:52, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Notes or citations that have strings of all caps in them should be rendered in title case even if the source uses all caps. For example, note 13 has "THE SYNTAX OF THE CONJUNCT AND INDEPENDENT ORDERS IN WAMPANOAG" in it, and this should be changed to "The Syntax of the Conjunct and Independent Orders in Wampanoag". Citations 45, 46, 116, and 119 have other examples, and there may be others.
- Done Mo-Al (talk) 23:00, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Page ranges anywhere in the article take en dashes rather than hyphens. For example, citation 59 has a page range, 11-12, and it should look like this: 11–12.
- Done I think I got all of them. Mo-Al (talk) 23:15, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I hope these suggestions prove helpful. Finetooth (talk) 21:09, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
