GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it well written?

   A. The prose is clear, concise and understandable to an appropriately broad audience, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

   First impressions:

• Her birthday should be included in the parenthesis, like: (Thai: หลินปิง, Chinese: 林冰, lit. 'Forest of Ice'; born 27 May 2009).  Done
• Lin Ping should be bolded because it's another name for the subject.  Done
• Per WP:SEAOFBLUE, "For a geographical location expressed as a consecutive comma-separated sequence of two or more territorial units, link only the first unit". So delink the countries next to a town (Sichuan, China; Chaing Mai, Thailand).  Done

1. Everything else looks okay. I fixed some things myself.

   B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:

   all guidelines above are followed

2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?

   A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:

   refs are laid out correctly

   B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):

   C. It contains no original research:

   Spot Check here

   Above is the spot check. There are some issues present. You can respond to them either here or at that page.

   D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:

   Earwig gives 2.0%, so no copyvios here.

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

• You should mention that the naming contest had over half a million entries (A public competition to name the cub drew more than a half-million entries, which have been whittled down to four finalists. The name will be chosen next month.)[1]
• Include how the public reacted to Lin Bing's birth (Newspapers have reported the baby panda's milestones and the public's reaction, including a giant cake measuring 4 feet by 5 feet (1.2 meters by 1.6 meters) donated by a Chiang Mai bakery to celebrate her one-month birthday. Some Chiang Mai hotels are offering special "meet the panda" rates for the next few months.)[1] (The birth of Lin Ping brought immense attention to the giant panda family, turning them into celebrities that people eagerly followed. This led to the creation of the reality show "Lin Ping: The Reality," which later evolved into the Panda Channel, a 24-hour reality show broadcasting Lin Ping's life, showcasing her development and the story of the giant panda family—Chuang Chuang, Lin Hui, and Lin Ping—for nearly three years.) [2]
• Everything is  Done by nom
• The lead should be expanded to summarize all the main points of the article, like her mating and offspring and how she is considered the property of China.

1. B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):

2. Is it neutral?

   It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:

   Article is neutral. It doesn't lean towards one viewpoint than another.

3. Is it stable?

   It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:

   No edit wars present

4. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?

   A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:

   B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

   Image has a valid CC license and caption.

5. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   I have put the article on hold. Please fix the issues above.

   Everything has been fixed. I will now pass the article. Good job!
