Reviewer: Seyyed(t-c) 11:18, 26 March 2010 (UTC) GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria[reply]

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:
    B. MoS compliance:
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:
    I put "citation needed" tag wherever I found source should be added.--Seyyed(t-c) 11:35, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
    C. No original research:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    The lead is incomplete. You should add more aspects of issue to the lead.--Seyyed(t-c) 13:21, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    There were especial situations and socio-economic conditions which led to emergence and transformation of Liberalism. There should be some information about these issues such as urbanization.--Seyyed(t-c) 12:18, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Each phase of Liberalism movement relates to especial situations. You can use some articles such as Modern history and Early modern Europe. You see, religious war is one of the main roots of "Emergence of liberalism" but you can't neglect Urbanization and Mercantilism. You can use History of capitalism which describes economic foundations of liberalism. There was Reason age in the 17th and Age of Enlightenment in the 18th centuries. Then Liberalism transformed into socio-political movement during industrialization and revolution era.
    Urbanization, history of capitalism, and Early modern Europe now linked or mentioned in the article. Much of this information is already there, but it's just not mentioned explicitly.UBER (talk) 18:14, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Post cold war situation:The article doesn't describe post cold war situation. As I told in my review on Liberalism, even Fukuyama doesn't believe in his theory about "end of history". Add some information about contemporary challenges.
    Current or Post cold war era: There should be separate section which is described more recent history. This part can include rivalry between Neoliberalism and Social liberalism as well as emergence of Third Way. Uprising of new challenges such as Conservatism and Fundamentalism which threaten Liberalism. Emerging of China as major power which is challenging western liberal irder of the world, etc.--Seyyed(t-c) 19:13, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Add a summary of this new section in Liberalism article as well.--Seyyed(t-c) 04:12, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I added more information for China as a threat to liberalism in the end, but the parts about fundamentalism, neoliberalism, and social liberalism are all mentioned.UBER (talk) 04:21, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot find anything about China in the article. China was the first country to introduce neoliberal policies and Hong Kong is consistently rated the freest country in the world, so I think China should not be shown as an enemy of liberalism. The Four Deuces (talk) 01:35, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry that was me being forgetful. I included China in the Liberalism article and it's now included in this article as well (at the very end).UBER (talk) 02:04, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The quote is not supported by the citation. The Four Deuces (talk) 04:02, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Rick was the one who added that statement, so I'll have to go back and check if there's a problem. What does the citation say? Since you've seen the citation, just go ahead and change the statement yourself to reflect the source. Or just tell me what it says and I'll change it accordingly. No big deal.UBER (talk) 04:15, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've actually found another source and modified the claim slightly to reflect it.UBER (talk) 04:28, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  1. B. Focused:
  2. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
  3. Is it stable?
     Done--Seyyed(t-c) 19:13, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  4. 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:
  5. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
I have now removed the Fukuyama comment entirely per your concerns.UBER (talk) 17:58, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

2nd opinion

[edit]

I saw the 2nd opinion tag and came here, but I cannot see a specific issue or issues requiring a second opinion. I do see a number of citation needed tags, if these are not addressed quickly, I would suggest failing this, if they are not resolved in a day or two. The nominator can work on it at their leisure and bring it back to GAN, there is virtually no queue now. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 11:39, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There have been no substantive edits made for two weeks. There are still outstanding citation needed tags. I recommend a fail now, and the artcile can be renominated when it meets the criteria and the problems above have been addressed. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 13:43, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
As the reviwer has not edited since 20 April and the citation needed tags are still unaddressed, i am going to fail this nomination now. When the issues that have been raised are addressed, please renominate at WP:GAN[, the queues there are relatively short following the backlog drive. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 21:57, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
