GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   1. Improper tense: "The Manampisoa is [was] a small palace"
   2. "The Mahitsielafanjaka was the residence of Andrianampoinimerina after moving his capitol [typos -> capital] from Ambohimanga to Antananarivo"
2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   1. http://icom.museum/disaster_preparedness_book/country/rakotoarisoa.pdf gives a "Error!Reason: Segment "disaster_preparedness_book" was not a keyword for a postVarSet as expected!"
   2. statistics like dates and years as well as things like "As of November 2007, 30% of the financing necessary for the reconstruction of the Rova had been collected.", "Some of the collections of artifacts (less than 20%) " need references
   3. "History", "Buildings of the Rova Compound" hardly provides any references to its sources of information
   4. None of the references are in English. "Because this is the English Wikipedia, English-language sources should be used in preference to non-English ones, unless no English sources of equal quality and relevance are available."
   5. "The official investigation concluded very quickly, too quickly in the eyes of some, that it was an accident. People accused, in turn, government officials, social groups from outside the capital, foreign powers and so on." smells of WP:Original research.
3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. 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):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

• Also add a relevant infobox. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 09:52, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
