Quick fail criteria assessment

1. The article completely lacks reliable sources – see Wikipedia:Verifiability.

   • 

2. The topic is treated in an obviously non-neutral way – see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view.

   • 

3. There are cleanup banners that are obviously still valid, including cleanup, wikify, NPOV, unreferenced or large numbers of fact, clarifyme, or similar tags.

   • 

4. The article is or has been the subject of ongoing or recent, unresolved edit wars.

   • 

5. The article specifically concerns a rapidly unfolding current event with a definite endpoint.

Pass quickfail criteria Jezhotwells (talk) 19:04, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Checking against GA criteria

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose):

   • This article is not reasonably well written. There are many errors of grammar throughout. I recommend that you enlist a copy editor at WP:Peer_review/volunteers#General_copyediting. I shall place the article on hold for seven days. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:07, 18 May 2009 (UTC) I have performed more copy editing and the article is now reasonably well written. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:50, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

   b (MoS):

   • OK

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references):

   • checked as far as is possible. The ISBN checksums do not check. Please address this. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:03, 19 May 2009 (UTC) OK now Jezhotwells (talk) 23:22, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

   b (citations to reliable sources):

   • OK

   c (OR):

   • No evidence of OR

3. It is broad in its scope.

   a (major aspects):

   • Broad in scope

   b (focused):

   • Focussed

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   • NPOV

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

   • Stable

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):

   • Images OK, but there is no description on the image page for the coins. I have templated the uploader Jezhotwells (talk) 20:03, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   • Please enlist help to copy edit as cited above Jezhotwells (talk) 19:07, 18 May 2009 (UTC) Just the ISBNs of the books need checking and amending. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:03, 19 May 2009 (UTC) Ok, all good now, congratulations, passed as GA Jezhotwells (talk) 23:22, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

I've given this article a copy-edit. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 20:42, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
