GA Reassessment

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

I am reassessing this article as part of the GA Sweeps process. Jezhotwells (talk) 12:51, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Quick fail criteria assessment

1. The article completely lacks reliable sources – see Wikipedia:Verifiability.

   • 

2. The topic is treated in an obviously non-neutral way – see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view.

   • 

3. There are cleanup banners that are obviously still valid, including cleanup, wikify, NPOV, unreferenced or large numbers of fact, clarifyme, or similar tags.

   • 

4. The article is or has been the subject of ongoing or recent, unresolved edit wars.

   • 

5. The article specifically concerns a rapidly unfolding current event with a definite endpoint.

   • 

OK, no problems here, on to main review. Jezhotwells (talk) 12:58, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
