Checking against GA criteria

[edit]
GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    The prose is not good, I made a few copy-edits[2] but the whole article could do with a thorough copy-edit to render it into good plain English.
    The lead does not thoroughly summarise the article, please see and apply WP:LEAD.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    "Ercole Manfredi: One of the great architects of Bangkok (1883–1973)" could do with an ISBN
    Sources appear to be RS
    The sources that I could checkn supported the cited statements. Assume good faith for the others.
    No evidence of WP:OR
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    Good coverage, without 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):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    On hold for seven days for a thorough copy-edit. Jezhotwells (talk) 21:24, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I went through the article text, revising the lead and rearranging the Architecture section into proper prose while converting the section's last paragraph (and the Painting section) to a list. Is this an improvement, or should I enlist further help from the Copyeditors' Guild? --Paul_012 (talk) 10:03, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You need to convert the lists to prose, it still needs a copy-edit, solitary sentences need consolidating into paragraphs. still much work to be done. Jezhotwells (talk) 23:22, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Not quite sure how to convert the lists to prose and still keep them readable; information from the sources is pretty limited. I've placed a request at the Copy Editors' Guild, but given the backlog there it might take some time. Probably this could be closed first; I'll renominate after the required work's done. --Paul_012 (talk) 03:27, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
OK, that is probably the best course. You could also ask for help at the projects whose banners are on the talk page. I would also recommend a peer review before renominating. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:02, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
