Jamesx12345, thank you for bringing this article to the GA review process. Unfortunately, I have decided to fail the nomination for the reasons that I list below. I noticed that you had not edited the article recently, so I suggest that you attempt the revise the article as much as you can before you re-nominate it for GA status.
- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
- The article relies on too many quotations without explaining their significance. See WP:QUOTEFARM for further advice.
- a (prose):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (reference section):
b (citations to reliable sources):
c (OR):
- Unresolved "citation needed" tag in the section on The Wealth of Nations.
- a (reference section):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects):
b (focused):
- I think the "Criticism and Dissent" section should be further developed. Currently it consists mostly of one long quotation.
- a (major aspects):
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Fair representation without bias:

- a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales):
- Overall:
- Thank you for your review. I am afraid I am guilty of a fly-by nomination, as I came across this article thinking it was quite good and worthy of a nomination, having been improved a lot since it was last reviewed. There are some useful pointers here to be acted on in the future. Regards, Jamesx12345 (talk) 08:56, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
