Hi! I will be reviewing this article for GA status and should have the full review up soon. Dana boomer (talk) 15:56, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
The lead is supposed to be a summary of the entire article, with no original information, and so no sources. In this article, I would recommend moving all of the information on the contributors to a new section, perhaps named "Contributors", with a brief summary sentence in the lead, something along the lines of "with participation from several other leading universities and institutes." I would then add a couple more sentences to the lead that summarize the design and construction history of the telescope.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars etc.:
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):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

A very nice article. I just have a couple of comments regarding the lead and layout of the article, so I am putting it on hold to allow you time to address this. Drop me a note if you have any questions. Dana boomer (talk) 16:20, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
