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 19, 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.

It is reasonably well written.

b (MoS):

There are a large number of citation tags on the article and a large number of un-cited statements, sufficient to de-list immediately. REfrences present as bare URLs should be formatted correctly, using citation templates. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:07, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
b (citations to reliable sources):
References appear Ok, I assume GF for print sources.

a (major aspects):
b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.

b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
OK, I am delisting this due to the large number of uncited statements. This decision may be appealed at WP:GAR or improvemnets may be made and the artcile submitted to WP:GAN for review. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:07, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
