GA1 list

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

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

   • Lead: it is a little short as the article is 35,640 chars, and so should have three or four paragraphs (Wikipedia:Lead#Length). More importantly it does not adequately summarise the body of text; merely mentioning its geographic location and the name of its French twin.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

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

   • The article has many instances of copyvio, or cutpaste: DuplicationDetector results War memorial, DuplicationDetector results EMR.AC, DuplicationDetector results Culpepper family, DuplicationDetector results Turnpike, Newsprint1, and plagiarism from Newsprint2. These will need to be re-written, or removed. The DuplicationDetector has the exact phrases found so far and can be used to identify the offending text. I have not reported it for copyvio as I am sure the editors will prefer to correct this fairly quickly.
   • Refs:^[8] Wetroads.co.uk [12] seems to be a user contributions site. There is a mention of the ford in an already used ref, Ditton Parish Council Gazette Spring 11 (halfway down) that could be used to replace it.
   • ^[18] Oxford DNB [13] does not show the information referenced, as it requires subscription.

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):

   • All images lack an alt text for visually impaired readers.
   • There are some images with rather long captions, which could probably be moved to the body of text.
   • Odo bayeux tapestry has no licence
   • There are some images that appear superfluous: the Community centre, an empty field with some chopped/broken trees, the cricket match.
   • The panorama has a settlement in the foreground - is that Ditton? If not, where is it? The caption could be used here to explain which is Ditton if it is not the foreground settlement.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:
