Assessment

This article cites no sources. "Cite" involves two things. First, you must have a source. Then, you must specify IN THE TEXT where that source is referenced. Otherwise, this article is basically a start-class article (the lists should be "narratized," but that's a separate issue). If someone has sources (if you wrote it, don't you know where you got the information?), you can put the URL in square brackets just after the text it cites, and I will come back and turn them into full citations. Until at least some of this is done, the header template should stay as is. Donlammers (talk) 17:36, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have up-rated this to start class. This article now has sources. However, it needs a couple more third party sources, as well as lists being turned into narrative, before it's a C-class. right now it still looks more like a list rather than an article.

@MikeNolan I've seen this on the BBC news app too. Would be worth renaming ("moving", I believe) the page, I think. Kmelling (talk) 17:07, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
