Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

#:: The Lead does not adequately summarise the article, please read WP:LEAD.

1. Prose meets criteria

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

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

   One of the ELs is a dead link, I have tagged it.

   Assume good faith for off-lines sources, other check out.

#::I thought a crisis was arrived in which Lord Kenmare and the heads of that body should step forth to disavow those wilde projects, and to profess their attachment to the lawful powers. Unfortunately, his lordship was at a great distance, and most of my other friends were out of the way. I therefore resolved on a bold stroke, and authorized only by the sentiments of the persons in question, [took action]. - quotations need a direct cite.

1. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

2. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   His life in politics: Those who placidly accept the judgement that Boyle Roche was "the Fool of the Grattan Parliament" should reflect on the fact that for almost 25 years he served as Gentleman Usher and Master of Ceremonies to the Irish Court, "an office for which a dignified and decorous demeanor is among the chief essentials." The non-quoted sections of this sentence represent a POV. Please rephrase.

   So, far from committing a solecism, Roche was making a witty reply that demonstrated at once his quickness, his literacy and his excellent memory has been tagged as a using peacock term. Please address.

3. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

4. 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):

   No images used

5. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   On hold for seven days for above issues to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 15:08, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

   Just the quote noted above needs citing. And the lead needs work as per above. Jezhotwells (talk) 02:00, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

   OK I belive that this article now meest the criteria. Keep GA status
