GA Reassessment[edit]

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
In order to uphold the quality of Wikipedia:Good articles, all articles listed as Good articles are being reviewed against the GA criteria as part of the GA project quality task force. While all the hard work that has gone into this article is appreciated, unfortunately, as of July 19, 2009, this article fails to satisfy the criteria, as detailed below. For that reason, the article has been delisted from WP:GA. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at WP:GAN. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at WP:GAR.

The article will require a fair amount of work to bring it up to current GA quality. From this tool, it's also apparent there is no significant contributor to the article who has touched the article in many months or is still active on Wikipedia generally. As the problems in respect of the criteria are significant, it is less likely they can be fixed within a short hold period; combined with the previous point, it is appropriate to delist it as a Good Article at this point. –Whitehorse1 02:44, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Issues[edit]

  • Merge tag at the top of the article since January, 2009. The user added an explanatory comment to the article talkpage, but there has been no related discussion or activity in 6 months.
  • Multiple {{fact}} tagged statements.
  • It does not have multiple cleanup tags that are still valid, though it should have. It is in the following hidden categories (in addition to those releated to merging): All articles with unsourced statements; Articles with unsourced statements from February 2007; Articles with unsourced statements from August 2007; Articles with unsourced statements from September 2007; Articles with unsourced statements from October 2008
  • Numerous one sentence paragraphs or stray statements.
  • Contains embedded lists (or very listy prose) which are usually better converted into prose.
  • The lead contains information not in the main body of the article; it should summarize key article points without introducing new facts.
  • Several dead links that are used as references (see this tool).
  • Recentism—at least from when it was last worked on—is a problem in the article (see also proseline). E.g., "...stage[s] at least three major theatrical performances each year" ..."2005 and 2006 productions included..."
