Checking against GA criteria

In order to uphold the quality of Wikipedia:Good articles, all articles listed as Good articles are being reviewed against the GA criteria as part of the GA project quality task force. While all the hard work that has gone into this article is appreciated, unfortunately, as of July 5, 2009, this article fails to satisfy the criteria, as detailed below. For that reason, the article has been delisted from WP:GA. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at WP:GAN. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at WP:GAR.

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose):

   b (MoS):

   • Common themes: This is a list, needs to be re-written in prose.
   • Title: This is consistently listed by publishers as Underground: The Tokyo Gas Attack and the Japanese Psyche. Have you considered changing it?
   • Lead: This should be a summary of the article, but it reads more as the first section. It contains information that is not in the article and it does not cover information that is in the article. Needs major re-write.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references):

   • ref #5 : Kavitha, Rao; Murakami, Mutsuko (3 October 1997). "The Human Cost". Asiaweek. {http://www.pathfinder.com/asiaweek/97/1003/feat5.html} is dead. Other references look good as far as can be verified.

   b (citations to reliable sources):

   • All sources appear reliable.

   c (OR):

   • No evidence of OR

3. It is broad in its scope.

   a (major aspects):

   • Broad ...

   b (focused):

   • ... and focussed.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   • OK

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

   • OK

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

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

   • OK

   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   • OK

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   • On hold for seven days for above concerns to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 13:36, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

   • OK I have notified previous editors and projects about this and no changes have been made, so delisting. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:33, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
