GA Reassessment

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
This page has recently been subjected to edit warring concerning whether Windows RT is succeeded by Windows 10 or Windows 10 Mobile. Hence the article no longer meets the stable criterion of GACR, justifying delisting from WP:GA. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 19:46, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reassessments require notification to the interested parties and time for them to respond. (A week is pretty much a minimum, since you need to give editors a chance to respond and not everyone logs in every day.) An edit war (which ended that day with article protection, and has not resumed in the week since) is not a valid reason for delisting unless it persists far longer than two days and cannot be settled. As this "reassessment" was a clear violation of the rules and guidelines, and done by a comparatively new editor who has never reviewed a Good Article nor done a reassessment, I am reverting this delisting immediately.

Also, reassessments should be done by independent parties, and as a prior contributor to the article (though not a primary one), it's definitely borderline as to whether Some Gadget Geek should have initiated the review at all. I strongly advise that before venturing into the GA space again, Some Gadget Geek makes sure to read all the instructions and be sure they are understood.
