I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status.

Disambiguations: One found, denticle and unlinked as I think neither Dermal denticle nor Pulp stone are meant here. Is this in fact the correct word? Jezhotwells (talk) 12:19, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Linkrot: None found. Jezhotwells (talk) 12:21, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Checking against GA criteria

[edit]
GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    The medallions were initially sold through mail order by obtaining that day's price by telephone Rather clumsy, can this be re-phrased?
    Beginning in 1982, denticles, reeding and a statement of gold content and national origin were added to the medallions. As noted above in the disambiguations section, denticles needs explanation as there is no suitable Wikipedia target. Suggest a suitable paraphrase of this source.
    Otherwise prose is fine, the lead is short but I believe that it adequately summarises the article.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    References are RS, and those that are on-line support the statements, assume good faith for others, no evidence of OR
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    Covers the subject in sufficent detail, no unnecessary trivia.
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
    NPOV
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
    Stable
  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):
    Licensed and captioned.
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    On hold for seven days for these issues to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 12:37, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Ok, this is good to go, so I am happy to list. Congratulations! Jezhotwells (talk) 14:22, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the review! I've fixed the problems you noted above. Rewording the mail order part was a little trickly, but I think it reads a lot better now. Thanks again!-RHM22 (talk) 14:10, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Width issue

[edit]

Is there a way to reduce the width of the images in the "Designs and sales figures" so content does not extend beyond the width of my screen? ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:49, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
