Review section
[edit]I am nominating this featured article for review because there is a lot of uncited text throughout the article and a large "Further reading" section with sources that can be incorporated into the article. The sources used as inline citations are of lower quality; lots of academic literature has been written about Brock, but the article relies on newspaper articles and a source from the 1800s. The lead is too short to summarise all major aspects of the article, but I would not want to expand it until other academic sources are incorporated. Z1720 (talk) 02:28, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- I agree with the identified issues. I have no immediate plans to fix these issues and think that the article should be delisted. That said, I live relatively close to Brock University and they're incredibly likely to have the academic sources that would be needed to make this an FA again. I'm not opposed to the idea of going to their library at some point (again, not near future, I'm quite busy). Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 11:46, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

DelistNo edits to address concerns. Z1720 (talk) 22:27, 3 October 2024 (UTC)- Hi @Z1720 and @Hog Farm, I'm willing to work on this. What will be the expected timeline? Matarisvan (talk) 09:06, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Matarisvan: If work is continuing, I won't advocate for a delist. Take as much time as you need. Z1720 (talk) 11:55, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Matarisvan: I noticed that you have not made any edits to the article the address the concerns. Are you intending to work on this soon? Z1720 (talk) 16:36, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Z1720, my laptop had malfunctioned so I wasn't able to work on the article for some time. I expect to start within 1-2 days. I think half a month or 1 month will be needed given the size of the article. Do let me know if that is ok. Matarisvan (talk) 06:03, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Matarisvan: I am not an FAR coordinator, but if work is ongoing FARs usually stay open. Z1720 (talk) 13:05, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
