GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

No dead links;
No disambiguation page links;

This article seems good to go, but here's some things:

Reference list blocked by {{Portal box}} (that should be in see also or external links)

Thank you for the review, Ebe123. The portal box should not be under External links because portals are internal to Wikipedia. WP:ALSO says portal boxes are usually placed in a See also section, but it does not say they are required to be there. Likewise, Template:Portal says portal boxes are meant to be placed in a See also section, but does not say that is required. The reference list is narrowed, but it is still readable and no information is obscured. Is there an accessibility concern? V C 16:58, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest putting {{Portal bar}} instead. There can be accessability concerns but it's mostly for the visual aspect. ~~Ebe123~~ → report on my contribs. 19:45, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

None of this is dealt with in the GA criteria, meaning that if this is the only hang up, I suggest that the article be listed and promoted. Imzadi 1979 → 20:32, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll promote. ~~Ebe123~~ → report on my contribs. 21:00, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
