Review section
[edit]Issues are still present in the article with minimal editing since then so here we are. (t · c) buidhe 05:34, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]This older Featured Article does not meet the current FA criteria. There are several unsourced paragraphs, the "notable people" section is almost completely unsourced, and I could find trivia in the article. Virtually all links are from 2007/8. The sourcing seems weak for a Featured Article; for instance mightymac.org and grandhotel.com seem promotional and not high-quality. Article needs work and I see similar concerns directly above.
- Move to FARC: "Points of interest" section feels very WP:TRIVIA and WP:PROMO for tourism to the island. Devonian Wombat edited the article on June 19 but there hasn't been engagement since then. Z1720 (talk) 18:31, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to FARC - some cleanup has occurred, but it does not seem to be continuing. Sizable issues remain yet. Hog Farm Talk 04:01, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
