GA Review

I am reviewing the article.--Redtigerxyz (talk) 12:41, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

• Image:Lindow Man reconstructed face.jpg: fair use rationale for the use is wrong. The image is not a logo. Also the head is on display in the British Museum , so the fair use rationale is not valid, a free copy can be created.
• "The bog is a dangerous place; an 18th-century writer (who? ) recorded people drowning there"--Redtigerxyz (talk) 13:06, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
• "It is one of the most complex examples of "overkill" in a bog body" "It is one of the best preserved ancient bodies found in Britain." "Its cabinet is the most climate-controlled in the British Museum" The best and the most superlatives give a senswe of glorification. Rewrite sentences or Add something "According to X, It is one of the most complex examples of "overkill" in a bog body".

• The source I have been using does not name the 18th century writer.
• Re the image: I am unable to provide a free image and I was unable to find one online. The way I see it we have two option: WP:IAR or delete the image; while the image is not essential I believe it does improve the article and would prefer it to stay, but am prepared to remove it.

I have removed the image. After a minor re-write, this article can pass. Please leave a note when the improvements are done. Thanks. --Redtigerxyz (talk) 13:37, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

I've deleted the image, hopefully someone will be able to provide a free one in the future. I've rewritten the sentences you highlighted. Nev1 (talk) 13:38, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
