GA Reassessment

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

This article is being reviewed as part of the WikiProject Good Articles. We're doing Sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. This article was awarded GA-status back in 2007 and the GA requirements have been "tightened up", so I will be assessing the article to ensure that it is still compliant.

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

• This article is generally compliant with the requirements of WP:WIAGA, them therefore going to mark this as a "keep" and will update the Article History accordingly.
• The WP:lead is, arguably, the weakest section. Approximately half of the current lead is unrelated to human, or even mammal, teeth; and what is there provides (sort of) an introduction to teeth (which is only part of what the lead should do), it makes no attempt however to summarise the main points of the article.
• The Fossil record section is also sparse, and has been flagged as since March 2009.
• I do not consider that these two defects are not sufficient to warrant a "Hold" or withdrawal of GA status. Pyrotec (talk) 20:46, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
