4. The article is or has been the subject of ongoing or recent, unresolved edit wars.

There is also the disturbing issue of this article's renomination within hours of its failure without any effort being made to address failure criteria. ~ Alcmaeonid (talk) 15:43, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

All resolved now. Regards.--Tomcat (7) 08:13, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

Needs a copyedit/rewrite

The article was copyedited two times. Please state examples.

1. B. MoS compliance:

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

Contains numerous unreliable sources

I used high-quality sources only. Could you give me examples of sources you feel are "unreliable"?

1. C. No original research:

2. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   B. Focused:

Needs improvement

Elaborate please.

1. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

Some concerns have been raised by other editors

Which are resolved.

1. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

History of edit warring and dispute

No more edit wars. The atmosphere was peacefully when suddenly an editor jumped in.

1. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

2. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

Given the issues surrounding this I don't feel I am able to pass this. The prose could also do with a polish.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:36, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your, ehm, comments. And not really in due time. Regards.--Tomcat (7) 18:36, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
