Overall summary[edit]

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


Overall, another good article.

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:
    IMO the prose is fine for GA, but the article may benefit from a further rework prior to taking to the next level.
    B. MoS compliance:
    No major issues, although I believe that units of measurement that form a compound adjective need to be hyphenated per WP:MEASUREMENT. i.e. "seventy-six 15 cm rounds" should become "seventy-six 15-cm rounds"
    Those only get a hyphen when the unit is spelled out in full (thus: "15-centimeter", but "15 cm"). That's why the convert template doesn't add a hyphen for abbreviated unit (see: {{convert|15|cm|in|abbr=on|adj=on}}, which is rendered as 15 cm (5.9 in)).

    Yep, seen. Striking issue. Anotherclown (talk) 14:12, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:
    Well referenced.
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
    Well referenced.
    C. No original research:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    B. Focused:
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    PassOn hold until the issue with the measurements is sorted, otherwise this is top work. Anotherclown (talk) 13:38, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Units ("units" in the MOS sense, that is, the abbreviations for physical units) are never hyphenated per WP:HYPHEN. - Dank (push to talk) 13:56, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Got a reference? The MOS does say "when they form a compound adjective, values and unit names should be separated by a hyphen". It has also come up at an ACR of mine (and ever since I have done it in my articles). I'm going to be real annoyed if this turns out to be wrong... will have to change a lot of my work... :-) Anotherclown (talk) 14:02, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
