GA Review

[edit]

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

1. Well-written:

  • A: Prose - Minor Fail Pass
    • While the prose is generally good, there's a few minor issues with regards to sentence structure. The article could benefit from a light copyedit, mostly to tighten the prose.
There are still a few minor issues, but none significant enough to hold it back from GA. I would recommend a thorough copyedit if you wish to take the article further than GA.
  • B: MoS - Pass
    • No issues with MoS.

2: Factually accurate and verifiable:

  • A:References to sources - Pass
  • C: No Original Research - Pass
    • Everything looks good here.

3: Broad in its coverage

  • A: Addresses Topic - Pass
    • The topic is well addressed.
  • B: Focused - Minor issues Pass
    • I think the length of the "Characteristics" section could possibly be trimmed down a bit. Personally, I'd scrap the bit about the armoured belt, and combine the deficiency bit with the end of the armaments paragraph. Typically, you only give a very brief overview of the characteristics of the class. The best examples are here and here. Most of the characteristics stuff can be put into the overarching class article,
I think that I've fixed that....--White Shadows It's a wonderful life 02:05, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

4: Neutral - Pass

    • No issues here.

5: Stable - Pass

    • No evidence of edit-warring.

6: Images

  • A: Copyright Statuses - Minor issues
    • File:Vunitis-class.jpg - the copyright can only have expired if we know the date of the actual drawing. Either add the date to the drawing or eliminate the image from the article.
    • File:Vu1912.JPG - same issue. We don't know the dates of the author.
I've removed and replaced (the line drawing one) the images in question.--White Shadows It's a wonderful life 01:39, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • B: Relevance and Captions - Pass

Overall: On Hold Pass

Generally, the article's in pretty good shape. I'm giving the text a light copyedit, and there's a few other issues that need to be dealt with before it can pass its GA.

All the issues have been dealt with. This article is now GA! Well done! Cam (Chat)(Prof) 01:41, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
