Summary

Is it reasonably well written?

A. Prose quality

B. MoS compliance

- There are a few sentences which need tweaking - for example:
  - "He describes his childhood as unhappy, especially the years up to age 13, spent in Germany" - sounds odd, needs restructuring.
  - " Tolle gives speeches and workshops, most of which are given in English, but occasionally gives talks in German and in Spanish" - similarly, slightly awkward.
Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

A. References to sources:

B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

C. No original research:

Is it broad in its coverage?

A. Major aspects:

B. Focused:

Is it neutral ?

Fair representation without bias:

Is it stable?

No edit wars, etc:

Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

~~The copyright status of the portrait of Tolle needs to be clarified. It's currently lacking a description.~~ - own work of a user, I'm satisfied that there are no copyright issues.

B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

Overall:

Pass or Fail:

This article is generally compliant WP:WIAGA, but the photograph of Tolle needs to be copyright tagged, and the prose needs tweaking before it can be awarded Good Article status. I'm therefore putting it on hold. Claritas § 12:53, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've reviewed recent edits made to the article, and I'm satisfied that the main issues with the prose have been sorted, and I'm therefore promoting it. Any editors who may be looking to bring this article to Featured Article status should bear in mind that the FA prose criteria are stricter and more work may be need on this area.

Excellent, Thank you! There may be a problem with the photo now; I'll try to sort that out ASAP Gregcaletta (talk) 01:36, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
