GA Review

I am closing this nomination as a quick-fail because no images are in the article.I have not checked any other area, which means there may be other areas of concern. Any editor can request that this article be reassessed by another reviewer or relist this article once this issue has been taken care of Geoff Plourde (talk) 05:44, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Think it's rather unhelpful to close the GA out of hand due to lack of images, when a review is to give it's impression of the article in it's entirety. The review is there to suggest improvements in general to the article, not hit one stumbling block and stop the review process, and adding a relevant image to the article is one of the smallest issues to cover. Disappointed with this response really. ^Khukri 09:49, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

I closed the GA because it met the quick fail criteria. Once the rationale is addressed, renominate and let me know and I will happily review the whole article. Geoff Plourde (talk) 15:35, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

It would have been appropriate of the referee to say which images he thought were necessary, but - as he readily admits - he did not even bother to read the article, so how could he do it? I'd say, let's ask for another referee who's willing to do his job. Cheers, Ptrslv72 (talk) 11:51, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

The full note says; The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement for Good articles. However, if images (including other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided. If an article does not even come close to meeting one of the criteria, it can be quick failed, which is a simple note that it was rejected. Geoff Plourde (talk) 15:35, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia:Good article criteria, "the presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement for Good articles." --Phenylalanine (talk) 12:20, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
