Good morning Antisyntagmatarchos, I will be reviewing your article at GAN today. Unfortunately, the article is not prepared to become a Good Article at this time. There is one major outstanding issues at this time that needs to be addressed before the article goes through the full review process: there are many unreferenced statements (and even entire paragraphs) throughout the article. This fails criterion 2b of the Good Article Criteria, and from my perspective the article is a long way from passing that criterion. I am going to go through and input [citation needed] tags in some of these places. Additionally, there are many sections that are not sufficiently wikified, and after a short skim it seems to me that much of the prose could be tightened up (GOCE can help with this).
The work that has been done to the article to this point has definitely improved it, but there is still a ways to go. If you would like more specific guidance as you continue to edit, please don't hesitate to drop a message at my talk page. Fritzmann (message me) 12:25, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I will see how I can add citations. I do, however not known what Wikification means. Another thing: is there a nomination possible for B-class as well?Antisyntagmatarchos (talk) 12:43, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry for the jargon, in this case wikification means adding markup, especially links to other articles. The first time something notable is mentioned it needs to have a link, and a lot of more specialist topics are written here that don't have links. As for B-class, there is no nomination, but it indicates that the article is pretty close to ready for GAN. Most of the time it is applied by an editor who isn't the primary author, but if you feel it is a B-class article there is nothing wrong with changing it. Before that, though, all of the claims definitely do need to be cited. Fritzmann (message me) 13:34, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the hint. I will definitely build up Wikification, then. And if you find that more citation is needed, I will step up to that as well. I have most of the literature in my shelf. Antisyntagmatarchos (talk) 13:39, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
