Talk:Forth Bridge/GA1
GA Reassessment
[edit]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. 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.
- Why is this article called Forth Railway Bridge when the lead does not give that as one of the bridge's names?
- Name changed back to Forth Bridge to reflect official name.
- Extraordinary claims need extraordinary sources.
- Extraordinary claims in introduction are all referenced.
- "The bridge is, even today, regarded as an engineering marvel." Who says so?
- This claim is no longer in the article.
- "Baker – "one of the most remarkable civil engineers Britain ever produced ...". All quotations need to be attributed.
- Claim no longer in article.
- "More than 55,000 tons of steel were used, as well as 18,122 m³ of granite ...". the article should be consistent about either presenting metric or imperial first, with a conversion to the other.
- All values appear to have been converted.
- "According to a 2004 New Civil Engineer report on contemporary maintenance ...". Needs to be cited.
- No longer in article.
- Four of the seven paragraphs in Construction are completely uncited. Where did the information come from? Similarly, the first and third paragraphs of Maintenance.
- All paragraphs appear to have been cited.
- Competition is too short to stand alone as a section. It also contains an external link. External links should be confined to an External links section.
- Popular culture is a Trivia section. Whatever is important should be incorporated into the article body, and whatever is kept needs to be cited.
- The Firth of Forth Road and Rail Bridges panorama need a proper summary, identifying the author.
