Starting GA reassessment. Jezhotwells (talk) 21:38, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Checking against GA criteria

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose):

   • Reasonably well written, I made a few copy edits to achieve this. More could be done. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:52, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

   b (MoS):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references):

   • Two links, ref #3 and ref #3 ref #10 are dead. Ref #1 does not support the statement "Flying the Flag (For You)" is a song written by Russ Spencer, Morten Schjolin, Andrew Hill, and Paul Tarry; Ref #2 does not support the statement The song scored only nineteen points: twelve from Malta, and seven from Ireland,; Ref #3 does not support the statement Scooch had reformed in hope of performing at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007, and the song was specifically written for the Contest (Eurovision rules state that the song must be an original composition.); ref #8 does not support "Flying the Flag (for You)" was the nineteenth song to be sung during the Eurovision Song Contest. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:53, 11 July 2009 (UTC)  Done

   b (citations to reliable sources):

   • Ref #6 is not an RS; I found Rs for a number of other sattements. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:53, 11 July 2009 (UTC)  Done

   c (OR):

   • Can you find a RS for the nun? Jezhotwells (talk) 22:53, 11 July 2009 (UTC) Done

3. It is broad in its scope.

   a (major aspects):

   b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

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 above issued to be fixed. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:58, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

   Correction, ref #3 and ref#10 I should have said!

   • Excellent work, GA status kept. Jezhotwells (talk) 14:15, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Comments

You said "ref #3 and ref #3". Is this a typo? Sceptre ^(talk) 12:54, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

2b and 2c fixed. Waiting on clarification for 2a. Sceptre ^(talk) 12:58, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Indeed a typo, see above #3 and #10. Thanks for spotting that. Jezhotwells (talk) 12:59, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Ref #2 does not support the statement The song scored only nineteen points: twelve from Malta, and seven from Ireland. I can't find anything at [1] that breaks down the scoring, supporting 12 from Malta and 7 from Ireland. You can probably find a newspaper that mentions this, but its not on that Eurovsion page. Jezhotwells (talk) 13:05, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Ref #10 isn't dead; I can access it perfectly. Ref #3 is, and I've fixed it. Ref #2 was a victim of the EBU reorganising their website, and is also fixed. Sceptre ^(talk) 13:13, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes my mistake about #10, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't :-) Jezhotwells (talk) 14:20, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
