I shall be reviewing this page against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:57, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Quick fail criteria assessment
- The article completely lacks reliable sources – see Wikipedia:Verifiability.
- The topic is treated in an obviously non-neutral way – see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view.
- There are cleanup banners that are obviously still valid, including cleanup, wikify, NPOV, unreferenced or large numbers of fact, clarifyme, or similar tags.
- The article is or has been the subject of ongoing or recent, unresolved edit wars.
- The article specifically concerns a rapidly unfolding current event with a definite endpoint.
Passes when checked against quick fail criteria, on to substantive review. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:05, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Checking against GA criteria
[edit]- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
The lead contains a mixture of tenses, past and present. It would be preferable to put all in the past.
I agree with your descision to keep the first two senstences in present tense. all reads well now. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:24, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
- b (MoS):
- a (prose):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references):

I would like the tense of the lead to be made consistent, otherwise no problems. On hold for seven days.
