GA Reassessment

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
As part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles' Project quality task force, all old good articles are being re-reviewed to ensure that they meet current good article criteria (as detailed at WP:WIAGA. I have determined that this article needs some upkeep to maintain its status:

• According to the link checker tool, there are several dead links that need to be replaced.
• The lead does not summarize the entire article as required by WP:LEAD. In fact, the lead material does not appear in the body. It needs to be moved to the body, sourced, and a new lead written incorporating and addressing the entire article
• There's a serious issue of coverage; as it stands, what the article is missing is more info about the etymology of the name and the history behind the monuments--currently, it reads as more a list than an article. The lead information is a start, but as mentioned needs to be sourced and expanded.
• File:QuanticoMike.gif needs info about how it qualifies as a PD-MARINE image; a similar issue is found in File:BelleauMike.jpg, File:Ironmike2.jpg, and File:BraggMike.gif, which lack source and author info.

I am putting the article on hold pending the above improvements. Please leave any status updates in this space. Thanks, Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 17:25, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

As no improvements have commenced in the time allotted, I am delisting the article. You may renominate at WP:GAN at any time, but it would be a good idea to address the above issues first. If you have any questions or comments, I don't watchlist these old reviews, so take it up at my talk page instead. Thanks, Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 15:00, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
