GA Review

[edit]

This article does not meet the standards or criteria for promotion to GA. It consists at present of a detailed listing of states' ratifications of the amendment, preceded by a brief outline history. The single section in the article has less than 300 words of text, which might be adapted to form the basis of a summary lead, but in no way represents a developed article.


Most of the statements in this "history" suggest that they are capable of being expanded, and it is possible to see a proper article emerging through the development of this material. My suggestions as to the structure of this article are:-

  • Lead, summarising the article’s content
  • Background - developing your statement that the amendment was the culmination of the work of many activists
  • Process – dealing with the process of the amendment within the political system, including the US Senate
  • Ratification
  • Consequences

These are only my suggestions – you could come up with something better.

In formal terms, a summary against the GA criteria is:-

Well-written: Fail – insufficient material, does not comply with WP requirements concerning lead section

Reliable: Defer opinion until more of the article has been written

Broad Coverage: Fail

Neutral:Pass

Stable: Pass

Images: Defer opinion until more has been written. There may well be appropriate images which can be incorporated into a fully-developed article.

I would certainly like to see the article developed in future, as it deals with an important and interesting subject.Brianboulton (talk) 10:40, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
