Checking against GA criteria

In order to uphold the quality of Wikipedia:Good articles, all articles listed as Good articles are being reviewed against the GA criteria as part of the GA project quality task force. While all the hard work that has gone into this article is appreciated, unfortunately, as of August 9, 2009, this article fails to satisfy the criteria, as detailed below. For that reason, the article has been delisted from WP:GA. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at WP:GAN. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at WP:GAR.

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose):

   b (MoS):

   • There is an excessive number of External links and See also items. I removed the columns from See also as these do not display correctly in all browsers. See WP:External links and WP:ALSO. The Lede does not fully summarize the latter parts of the article. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:34, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references):

   • There are a number of outstanding citation needed tags, some dating from December 2008. I have added more. There are large number of paragraphs without any sourcing. I have fixed a couple of redirects to external links. Some citations are not properly formatted. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:29, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

   b (citations to reliable sources):

   • Sources used appear reliable. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:29, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

   c (OR):

   • Uncertain until article is fully referenced. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:29, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

3. It is broad in its scope.

   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:

   • On hold for seven days for issues above to be fixed. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:37, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
   • OK - nothing seems to have happened in seven days, there have been some minor formatting edits. I am de-listing this article. It can be brought back to WP:GAN when improved. Jezhotwells (talk) 14:53, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
