University of Oxford[edit]

I've listed this article for peer review because I think it's potentially a candidate for WP:FA status. A peer review is a step towards it becoming WP:FAC.

Non-reviewer comment[edit]

@Bellezzasolo: I am glad you are trying to bring this article to FA and I think that it is definitely an important subject that really ought to be brought up to FA, but I happened to notice that the article seems to be sorely lacking in citations. There are whole paragraphs that are completely uncited. In order to become an FA, every single statement in the entire article needs to be cited to a reliable source (and really this should have been the case with GA also, but apparently that was not a standard eleven years ago when this article became a "Good Article.") I will say that the level of helpful media content in the article is certainly worthy of an FA, though.

Hopefully this advice has helped a little bit. I really do not know very much about the University of Oxford; I am an American who has never left the country, so I cannot really help you much on the accuracy or completeness of the article. Good luck with the article and congratulations on getting into the University of Oxford! (This is coming from someone who has applied to the University of Chicago, which has a 7.9% acceptance rate, a rate which I imagine is probably similar to the University of Oxford's; I still have not yet received notification that I have been rejected, as I inevitably will be.) --Katolophyromai (talk) 02:35, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
