Checking against GA criteria

[edit]
GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    As of 2010, the church is closed (and has been since 2004) because of structural problems This statement will soon be dated. better you just say that it has been closed since 2004. Green tickY
    Tweaked. BencherliteTalk 14:23, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    The parish priest is Father Michael Ryan... How come, if the church is closed? Green tickY
    Why shouldn't it have a parish priest? The parish remains, even if the church is temporarily closed until repairs are carried out. BencherliteTalk 14:23, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Understood. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:51, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    The architect was Giuseppe Rinvolucri, an Italian engineer from Piedmont. He had been a prisoner of war held in Wales, Italy was allied to Britain and France in WWI. Needs explanation of why he was a prisoner of war? Green tickY
    References appear OK, several repeat the information that Rinvolucri was a prisoner of war, but without explanation. I found one oblique reference in a Google search[1] to his having been interned or subjected to restrictions in WWII, as many Italians were. Perhaps this is the source of the confusion?
    Well, as CADW (a high-quality source) says he came to Wales as a POW before later settling down, we may be in a "verifiability not truth" issue here. I can't find anything about why he was a POW, but obviously he can't have been a WWII POW who later settled in Wales, as this is a 1930s design. I'd be surprised if "interned" had been muddled up with "POW", since the two concepts are very different. BencherliteTalk 14:23, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I think it would be better to omit this statement as it is clearly incorrect. I have asked for opinions at WT:WikiProject Military history#Help requested with Italian prisoners of war during World war One (1914-18). Jezhotwells (talk) 18:51, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Ok, I have found out a little more. Rinvolucri's son, Mario, states that his father fought against the Austro-Hungarians, i.e. on the Italian (Allied) side.[[1]] He states that his father was an immigrant.[2]. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:25, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    OK, well, the easiest thing to do is to remove it and see if anything better comes up in the future. Perhaps if I make it to Amlwch from my end of Anglesey I might find out more. BencherliteTalk 10:38, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. 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):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    On hold for seven days for above issues to be resolved. Jezhotwells (talk) 17:55, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Ok, I am now happy to pass this as a Good Article. Congratulations. Jezhotwells (talk) 16:07, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
