Conclusion

I grappled this decision for a while, but I have come to the conclusion that this article does not meet GA criteria, and is too distant from the standard to be placed on hold. The main issue is prose, the text reads with viscosity, as there are numerous sentence fragments, incongruent phrases, and improperly-denoted quotes. Also there is much topical parlance, for example you mention Colonel Manuel José Olascoaga without mentioning in what capacity he wrote of Villa Regina. Another issue is copyrights. Many images are of free usage in Argentina, but no specificity as to whether the image is in the public domain in other nations. There are a few unsourced statements in the article as well. I can tell you are very passionate about this subject, and so failing this article is just as disappointing for me as it is for you. I have included a GA criterion table to serve as a lodestar for improvement. I anticipate a second nomination after these issues are allayed. QatarStarsLeague (talk) 02:00, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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:
