I would like to solicit opinions on whether this article meets the requirements of a Good Article. If not, please let me know how it needs to be improved. The only major GA criteria that I know it does not meet is an image....if anyone has an image for this article, please let me know. -- Deejayk (talk) 17:49, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit]It is not neccessary for an article to have an image to pass GA, although it is good if it has one. Have you checked out WP:Finding images tutorial for some tips on finding an image? If that fails you could post at WP:Requested pictures. If you can not find an image it is best to remove the image placeholder as its use is discouraged as is shown at WP:Centralized discussion/Image placeholders.
A brief glance at the article shows that it is well organised and referenced. I did not check out the references.
The lead needs expanding from one sentence. Check out WP:Lead section for some tips. I would suggest that it is near GA standard.
You could list it at WP:GAN and carry on working on it, as it will take a while for it to reach top of the list. Jezhotwells (talk) 10:31, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- I have expanded the article's lead, as you suggested. I've also once again tried (and failed) to find a suitable free image on the web. I will post a photo request, but I'm not optimistic that will turn up a photo. Hopefully the lack of an image will not be held against the article. I've listed the article at WP:GAN. Thanks! - Deejayk (talk) 21:35, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
