Criteria
[edit]Good Article Status - Review Criteria
A good article is—
- Well-written:
- (a) the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and
- (b) it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.[1]
- Verifiable with no original research:
- (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);[2]
- (c) it contains no original research; and
- (d) it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.
- Broad in its coverage:
- (a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic;[3] and
- (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.
- Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. [4]
- Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio: [5]
- (a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content; and
- (b) media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.[6]

Criteria | Notes | Result |
---|---|---|
(a) (prose) | 08:15, 6 March 2021 (UTC): well written, no issues. | Pass |
(b) (MoS) | 16:09, 10 March 2021 (UTC): sorry for the delay, no MoS issues. | Pass |
Criteria | Notes | Result |
---|---|---|
(a) (references) | 16:09, 10 March 2021 (UTC): WP:INCITE is followed with a valid style. | Pass |
(b) (citations to reliable sources) | 16:09, 10 March 2021 (UTC): all sources which are cited are reliable, although one is self-published, however, in pre-Wikipedia times, so not that big a deal. My query is whether any of the content can be verified by another source, just to ensure that there is no question about the range of sources cited. A couple of potentially relevant examples which I can provide access to should nom be hit by the paywall are this and this. 16:09, 19 March 2021 (UTC): re-reviewed after nom's comment. Satisfied of third-party coverage for purposes. |
Pass |
(c) (original research) | 16:09, 10 March 2021 (UTC): no OR or synthesis, sources support the content. | Pass |
(d) (copyvio and plagiarism) | 11:54, 4 March 2021 (UTC): Earwig's tool says yep. | Pass |
Notes | Result |
---|---|
11:54, 4 March 2021 (UTC): first read-through shows nothing controversial with apparent due weight given to each aspect. Not a particularly well-known figure so the likelihood of such edits being subsequently introduced is slim (see stability section below). | Pass |
Notes | Result |
---|---|
11:54, 4 March 2021 (UTC): cursory glance at less than month-long history indicates no edit warring or content disputes. | Pass |
Result
[edit]Discussion
[edit]- Hi Ergo Sum, thank you for your nomination, and my apologies for the delay between starting the review and finishing it, I've been a bit busy over the past few days. Please see my above feedback and ping me back here and I'll be happy to re-review the one "on hold" point. Many thanks, SITH (talk) 16:09, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, StraussInTheHouse. The self-published ref is not cited for the portion that is actually written by O'Hagan, but for the introductory portion written by the editor. I think that avoids the self-published issue. Ergo Sum 16:23, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
- @StraussInTheHouse: Have you had a chance to take a look at my reply? Ergo Sum 03:15, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Ergo Sum, my apologies, I've had a technical issue and a been a bit busier than I anticipated. I will re-review tonight. Many thanks, SITH (talk) 12:51, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

- ^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
- ^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
- ^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
- ^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
- ^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
- ^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
