GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
The only issues here is the statement that "She was not really called Queen by Appian", which is both too casual and unclear, and some comma/punctuation issues which can be sorted out by a quick copy/edit. Put citations after punctuation, not before.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
No issues here, I think it is very well sourced.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
I think it's generally good, but I think some more biographical detail might be required - are approximate dates of birth/death recorded ? What happened to Illyria after her rule was "dismembered" ? It didn't become a Roman Province until 165 B.C.E. Who succeeded her ?
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
No issues here.
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
This is picky, but I think you might want a more explanatory caption for the map of the Illryian wars - "A map showing...." maybe ?
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
I'm going to put this on hold pending improvements to the article. Good work so far ! Claritas § 19:47, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

1st wave of tweaking in accordance with the upper criteria - done! Er-vet-en (say) 06:58, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've done some style editing myself, and, considering the obscurity of the topic and what little information is available, I think this meets WP:GAC. Claritas § 19:26, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
