Taiwanese (linguistics)[edit]

Review commentary[edit]

Notified Kaihsu, Jiang, WikiProject China, WikiProject Taiwan and WikiProject Languages

This article was promoted to FA status in May 2004. The article may have met the FA criteria back then, but it doesn't meet the current criteria. Criterion 1c seems to be the biggest problem for this article at the moment. I haven't looked at prose yet, but I will review later to see if it meets 1a.

Definitely needs a whole host of references to stay featured. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 15:26, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FARC commentary[edit]

Suggested FA criteria concern is referencing (1c). Marskell (talk) 08:00, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Remove per 1c. My concerns have yet to be addressed. Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 19:42, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Remove Inline citations are advised for statements such as "how one describes Taiwanese depends largely on one's political views", and "such claims are still controversial". Prose needs tightening. Article is off-focus in parts, e.g. Taiwanese puppetry and cuisine. Obsolete image tag on Image:Taiwanese Bible Chim-gian 1933.jpg could be updated. External links should be trimmed.

Remove 1c. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 07:06, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Remove. There is a lack of sufficient inline citations, as well as a mix of footnotes and embedded external links. The lead section insufficiently summarizes the content. maclean 04:48, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
