Reviewer: Kimikel (talk · contribs) 00:25, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Starting review now, will be finished within the week if not sooner. Kimikel (talk) 00:25, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@V.B.Speranza: Review finished. Please review my suggestions, putting on 7 day hold - Kimikel (talk) 02:51, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I will make your suggestions, once I’m done I’ll make sure to get back to you. V.B.Speranza (talk) 10:45, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Kimikel Done! V.B.Speranza (talk) 11:49, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your edits @V.B.Speranza. Please also see the notes left below by Ganesha811. Also, quick note, uncapitalize directions (North > north, etc). Thank you! Kimikel (talk) 17:49, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done and done. V.B.Speranza (talk) 23:46, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@V.B.Speranza sorry to keep giving you more work, but there are still issues with the article. As Ganesha811 mentioned, https://bloguedominho.blogs.sapo.pt/701396.html is a user-published blog and is not a reliable source; it must be removed. The "Pimentel" source lacks an author and title name; just replace it with the website that that URL links to as your source. The new lead paragraph contains facts that are not sourced anywhere in the rest of the article ("Gualterianas" and "colorful lights" do not appear in the rest of the article). These either need to be removed from the lead or mentioned elsewhere in the article with a proper source. This paragraph also needs to be copyedited once that is done, as there are multiple noticeable orthographic errors. Please let me know when you implement these suggestions. Thank you. Kimikel (talk) 00:51, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done, hope it helps. V.B.Speranza (talk) 21:24, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! I'm going to join here as an experienced reviewer and mentor per the backlog drive guide; either of you, please feel free to ask me any questions you may have.
Looking over the review, @Kimikel, you've done a great job covering prose and formatting. I only have two comments; first of all, the lead seems a bit short for the article - it's just a single sentence at the moment, so I would recommend expanding it. Secondly, one of the key parts of any GA review is the source review, to make sure that they are reliable, being accurately cited, and formatted correctly. I don't see any major causes for concern among the sources, but there are some minor things that need fixed (such as Pimentel 1989 missing a title and full author name, or a blog bloguedominho being used that may not be reliable). I recommend doing a pass over the citations to catch issues like these. Overall, it's a very thorough review so far! Nice work. —Ganesha811 (talk) 13:27, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ganesha811: Considering the fact that @V.B.Speranza had incorporated the vast majority of our suggestions, I decided to be bold (as encouraged by the GAN review instructions) and make what I thought were the final edits needed for this to meet GA criteria. As such, I think it now passes a GA review. I would appreciate your appraisal our both of our work at this point; thank you in advance! Kimikel (talk) 03:28, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'll take a look over tomorrow morning and let y'all know! —Ganesha811 (talk) 03:55, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I made a couple of very minor changes. There are a few more tweaks and improvements I would suggest - adding more ISBNs to books and publications where available, adding translations of the Portuguese article/chapter/book titles to the references (there is a field for this), adding further archive links to references using IABot, adding more publishers to sources, etc, but I don't see anything major areas in need or big problems. I'd say that if you are satisfied, Kimikel, you should feel confident in passing this for GA! —Ganesha811 (talk) 18:00, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As the creator of the article, I’d like to thank you for your review. I’ll add the things you suggested. V.B.Speranza (talk) 18:30, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've just promoted the article to GA. Thank you very much for your review, Ganesha811, and thank you and congratulations to V.B.Speranza for the good work you put into this article. Kimikel (talk) 22:23, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Thanks! The article was promoted to GA status on time and it meets all of the regular DYK+GA requirements. I did not find any close paraphrasing. Since you have less than five DYK nominations a QPQ is not required. ALT1 might need some slight revisions: for example, "prerogative status" might be too specialist so an alternative, easier-to-understand phrasing could used here. The hook also doesn't make it clear it's in Portugal so that might need to be addressed to. The hook's source is in Portuguese so AGF, but a Google Translate check confirms the information.

    Would just saying "was declared a royal chapel by King Luis I" give the same meaning or would the nuance be lost? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:20, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
