GA criteria

Well-written:

With the issues in the below comments section satisfactorily addressed, the article now fully complies with MOS policies on grammar, along with structure/layout in general. Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 07:29, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(a) the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct

(b) it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation

Verifiable with no original research:

The article adheres to a good number of reputable sources. No evident incorporation of original research. Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 14:55, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline

(b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose)

(c) it contains no original research

Broad in its coverage:

The article seems to cover all encyclopedically relevant aspects of its topic, with no excessive detail included anywhere. Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 14:54, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic

(b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style)

Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.

The article's tone remains neutral throughout. Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 14:52, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.

Since the article's creation last month, it has not been subject to edit warring or any form of disruptive interactive editing. Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 14:41, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:

Having made note of the information present on the file page, the sole image used in this article abides by fair use rules, and also serves a relevant illustrative purpose. Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 14:40, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content

(b) media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions

Comments

In the second paragraph of the introduction, there's a little too much "the mall". Seeing as the sentences beginning with "Although the mall currently still stands..." and "Despite the mall's closure..." each use the phrase "the mall" later on, it should suffice in these instances to substitute with "it/'s". Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 15:00, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Also, in the latter sentence it might be better to reword "Despite the mall's closure, periodically, several events take place at the mall..." so that "periodically" follows "several events", so as to reduce comma usage and improve word flow.

@Wilhelmina Will: I don't know if you are done with the review or not, but I finished changing the article per your suggestions. Thank you. Carbrera (talk) 22:29, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 07:28, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
