Never heard

Nevery heard of her. Notability? --Märkischer Kavalier (talk) 08:07, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Many reliable secondary sources cited in the references section. You can find a lot more with a quick google news search. Cheers! -Samuel Tan 09:01, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So far. Thanks. Best --Märkischer Kavalier (talk) 09:37, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Sarah Conlon/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
This sentence, in the Guildford pub bombings section, "The four each served 15 years in jail before their convictions", the beginning of the sentence reads very odd and might need to be re-worded. Same section, "In 1991" it would be best if a comma placed after "1991". The article tends to have "Sarah" and "Sarah Conlon", the best thing to do is mention her full name once, and mention her first name, instead of having the order of "Sarah"..... "Sarah Conlon".
Done - Improved per recommendations - Samuel Tan 05:00, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Check. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:02, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
It would be best if the references use the {{cite web}} format.
Done Well I'm very used to creating the refs manually, but I've changed it all to cite web anyway per your suggestion heh -Samuel Tan 05:27, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Check. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:02, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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):
Does Reference 6 cover all this ---> "The investigation into the bombings led to the arrest and conviction of Gerard Conlon, Sarah Conlon's son; Patrick Armstrong; Carole Richardson; and Paul Hill; dubbed the Guildford Four. The four were jailed for life in 1975 for the bombings. The four each served 15 years in jail before their convictions were quashed by the Court of Appeal following an extensive inquiry, carried out by Avon and Somerset Police, into the original police investigation. The inquiry found that the way the confessions of the four were noted were seriously flawed, concluding that the notes taken were not written up immediately and that officers may have colluded in the wording of the statements"?
Yes; that particular source has a lot of information -Samuel Tan 05:04, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Check. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:02, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

C. It contains no original research:

D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
Is it neutral?
It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
Is it stable?
It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:

B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
It would help if an image can be inserted to the article, so it can illustrate the significance of it. But, if an image can't be found, I won't fail the article because of that.
I am not adding images because I am not familiar with the fair use rationales for images and highly doubt that it is possible to find an image relevant to the topic in the public domain. :)-Samuel Tan 05:07, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Check. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:02, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Overall:
Pass or Fail:
If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

Thank you to Samuel Tan for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:02, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
