No problems checking against quick fail criteria, proceeding to substantive review. Jezhotwells (talk) 13:50, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Checking against GA criteria

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose):

   • The article is reasonably well written, but there is room for improvement in the prose style. I have made some minor copy-edits. Consider rewriting the lead to avoid successive sentences starting with the word It. Jezhotwells (talk) 13:59, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

   b (MoS):

   • The article conforms with the MoS. Jezhotwells (talk) 13:59, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references):

   • Assume good faith for print sources, all other references live. Jezhotwells (talk) 14:11, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

   b (citations to reliable sources):

   • I replaced ref #6 as the original was not an RS. Other sources RS in context. Jezhotwells (talk) 14:11, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

   c (OR):

   • No evidence of OR. Jezhotwells (talk) 14:11, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

3. It is broad in its scope.

   a (major aspects):

   • OK Jezhotwells (talk) 14:14, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

   b (focused):

   • OK Jezhotwells (talk) 14:14, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   • NPOV Jezhotwells (talk) 14:14, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

   • Stable Jezhotwells (talk) 14:14, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):

   • images tagged OK Jezhotwells (talk) 14:17, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   • Appropriate captions and use. Jezhotwells (talk) 14:17, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   • I am happy to confirm the GA status. Consider rewriting to improve prose style as suggested above. Jezhotwells (talk) 14:17, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

   Thanks; I'll take a look at that when I have a chance. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 14:33, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
