Untitled

One of the most notable things about Mr Stoddart is that he does not work within the paradigm of contemporary art.

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Alexander Stoddart/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: SMasters (talk) 07:19, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

Is it reasonably well written?
A. Prose quality:
There are quite a number of minor problems with the prose, mainly to do with punctuation. I suggest you have a third-party cast an eye on it or seek assistance from WP:GOCE/REQ. Although not required for a GA, it would be nice to have compliance with MOS:NUM as well as WP:DASH. John Simpson is a dab, and http://www.adamsmith.org/the-adam-smith-statue/ is a dead link.

The prose is much improved and mistakes have been fixed. The dab and dead link have also been fixed. – SMasters (talk) 03:59, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
A. References to sources:

B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
A citation is needed for "Stoddart has also worked on busts of living figures he admires, including Roger Scruton and Tony Benn."

Citation fixed. – SMasters (talk) 03:59, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

C. No original research:
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. Major aspects:

B. Focused:
Is it neutral?
Fair representation without bias:
Is it stable?
No edit wars, etc:
Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
Overall:
Pass or Fail:
All issues have been fixed, and I am now confident that the article complies with the requirements for a GA. As such, I am happy to pass this. I would also like to mention Ktlynch and Mannafredo, who have both worked to improve the article.Well done. – SMasters (talk) 03:59, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Apart from my first edit, which I bitterly regret (putting the boot into him for perceived snub of Bill MacLaren), I have done little more than fix typos and stuff. It really is largely down to KT and others. Mannafredo (talk) 11:42, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
