Pre-GA comments

[edit]

I will review this for GA within the next 72h, hopefully. There's only one pre-GA quick comment: WP:LEAD recommends that the lead has no unique information, and thus needs no references. While this is only a recommendation, I think the lead here may benefit from a relevant rewrite. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 15:41, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:
    1) missing word: " Emsley suggested that beginning he" 2) add art to lovers in "art critics and lovers".
    B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
    1) See my concerns about lead on the talk page. 2) please add an ilink to "Sloaney", I don't know what this reference is to. 3) "Andrew Eaton-Lewis" may be notable, please add a red link, or explain here why he is not notable. Same for Joseph McKenzie.
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. Has an appropriate reference section:
    I added tags to sentences that need referencing/clarifying.
    B. Citation to reliable sources where necessary:
    Mostly. Please explain why is the comment by Fisun Güner reliable enough for inclusion.
    C. No original research:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    I am not sure about this. I think there was much more coverage than is being discussed. I would like to hear what were the criteria for selecting the pieces used in the article. For just one example, the NYT review mentions more criticism ([1], by people who seem notable yet are not cited here.
    B. Focused:
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
    Discusses both critics and supporters.
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:
    File:Portrait of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.jpg needs a proper fair use rationale, not just a single template. See for example File:DREAMHUB, Seoul, South Korea.jpg for what I mean. As a side note, irrelevant to GA status, it would be nice if someone asked the copyright holder (museum? artist?) to consider free licensing so that could be used on other language Wikipedias.
    B. Images are provided if possible and are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
I think I'll withdraw this one if its OK.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 10:09, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No problem with me, through I am not sure what I have to do unless I just fail it? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:20, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I am going to fail this due to issues not having been addressed, and no editor declaring they need more time. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:38, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
