Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Moore travelled to Japan to secure a Goto Mars projector. Can you explain what a "Goto Mars projector" is?

   Not really, heh. It is just a brand of projector, so I added a link to Image projector to clarify.--EchetusXe 16:21, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

   ''He was nominated onto the International Astronomical Union "onto the board of"?

   I'm not sure it is a board, so I changed it to 'nominated into' the union.--EchetusXe 16:21, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

   Sorted and cited. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:46, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

   ''In January 1998, part of Moore's observatory in his garden was destroyed by a tornado which passed through the area; the observatory was subsequently rebuilt. would be better located later on for chronological consistency.

• Absolutely.--EchetusXe 16:21, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

• Well spotted, thnx.--EchetusXe 16:21, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   References cite "Moore 2000" but the book is given as "Moore, Patrick (2003), The Autobiography, Sutton Publishing, ISBN 0747264279" in the works cited.

• Well spotted there on the mistake that was copy-pasted all over the place.--EchetusXe 16:21, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

1. Otherwise, well referenced, no OR, spotchecks verify statements, assume good faith for off-line sources

2. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Good coverage

3. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   NPOV

4. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

   stable

5. 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):

   One image used, licensed, no caption needed in infobox

6. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   On hold for seven days for above issues to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 16:04, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
