GA Reassessment

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed, listed below.

The problems are primarily in the references:

"Mythology of Demeter and Persephone" - last paragraph seems like WP:OR, needs refs
"Participants" - ref
"Greater Mysteries" - though mostly an uncontroversial narration of events, more refs would be nice here. Particularly the "two modern theories", though there is more on this further down. Also, there's an external link in the text.
"End of the Eleusinian Mysteries" - ref for quote, attribution is not enough
"The Mysteries in art" - Shakespeare mask thing needs ref. "It is interesting that..." - no, no, no...
"Entheogenic theories" - here there's a [citation needed] tag, indeed the whole section after the last ref seems like OR
"References" - not quite consistent in use of page numbers etc.
As has been pointed out above, the current ref 13 - Thomas Taylor - is doubtful

I will check back in seven days. If these issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far.

Since no significant improvements have been made to the article over the last week, I will now delist it. Lampman (talk) 15:17, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
