I shall be undertaking the review of this article against the Good Article criteria, per its nomination for Good Article status. ✽ Juniper§ Liege (TALK) 01:10, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Quick fail criteria assessment

[edit]
  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.

Article meets quick-fail criteria. Main review to follow. ✽ Juniper§ Liege (TALK) 01:16, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Main review

[edit]
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose):
    • Well written. Identified problems addressed.
    b (MoS):
    • Conforms to manual of style.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):
    • Well referenced. However, the article is very dependent on the source by Cawkwell - this is the only major concern of the article. If possible, other sources should be introduced, even as supporting references. As there are a couple of other sources used in the article, it is not sufficient to fail, but the problem should be borne in mind for future improvement.
    b (citations to reliable sources):
    • Citations are to third party publications.
    c (OR):
    • No evidence of OR.
  3. It is broad in its scope.
    a (major aspects):
    • Addresses major aspect of article subject matter.
    b (focused):
    • Remains focused. No digressions.
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy:
    • No issues concerning POV evident.
  5. It is stable:
    • No edit wars etc.
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):
    • Images are properly tagged and justified.
    b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
    • Images are accompanied by contextual captions.
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail: PASS ✽ Juniper§ Liege (TALK) 01:48, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
