Delisted due to lack of response to concerns.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 06:15, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am reviewing this article as part of GA Sweeps. This article is in decent shape, but it needs to be edited to meet the current standards of WP:WIAGA. I am about to outline a partial list of issues that need to be addressed. After I post this listing, I will give concerned and interested editors a week before I reevaluate the article's quality rating. I will be following along with the progress of the article and may make additional comments as it is appropriate.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 04:47, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The WP:LEAD is extremely long and defies current guidelines that state a maximum four paragraphs. It is currently 533 words and 3370 characters. Please shorten to four paragraphs and less than 500 words and 3200 characters.
There are a few citation needed tags.
According to the altviewer the article needs WP:ALT text

I don't see WP:ALT in the GA criteria. Racepacket (talk) 05:14, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

According to the dablink checker the article has about 15 dabs in need of some attention.
According to the link checker the article has over 30 deadlinks that need attention.
The article has a few paragraphs without any inline citations. Please bring the article up to the current WP:WIAGA standard.

This is a misreading of the WP:WIAGA standard. If the paragraph does not contain quotes or contestable statements, no inline citation is required in a paragraph. Racepacket (talk) 05:10, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is difficult for me to tell why File:MARTA Rail Map.svg is in the public domain. Was it created for wikipedia or does it come from someplace official.
Although the File:Happymartacards.JPG photographer may release his rights as a photographer, the passes seem to be original art and it seems to me that they require a fair use explanation.
File:Marta token.jpg may require a fair use explanation as well. I am not sure what the policy is on subway tokens.

I will evaluate the progress made toward addressing my concerns in a week. I may make additional comments as warranted. I will strike concerns that I feel have been resolved if I see progress has been made.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 05:16, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
