GA Reassessment

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch

While this article probably met the GA criteria at the time of its initial writing, it seems rather out of date now, following the arrest and guilty pleas of most LulzSec participants. Would anyone be willing to update this so it can keep its GA status?

Here are the initial concerns I see:

The lead should address the guilty pleas of the LulzSec hackers. It also seems strangely ordered, moving backward from the 2012 arrests to the 2011 "retirement".
The body makes heavy use of the word "claimed", which should generally be rewritten per WP:WTW.
"Other members still may be active as to this time, they will not be identified." -- what is the source for this sentence? I'm not clear what it even means.
"The group's latest attacks have had a more political tone. " -- "have had" implies that these are ongoing to the present; "latest attacks" also seems like it could be a dated statement. Is it possible to give a more precise date per WP:REALTIME?
Many of the statements about "alleged" and "supposed" can be updated now that these individuals have pled guilty and given extensive confessions in interviews with Parmy Olson and others.

I'll now contact the original nominator and reviewer; if either is still active and willing to work on these issues, I'll be glad to continue reviewing. Thanks to everybody for their work on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 01:50, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Having gotten no response from the original participants or from this talk page, I'm delisting the article; it seems to me that significant cleanup and updating is needed to get back to GA status. -- Khazar2 (talk) 12:33, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
