GA Review

[edit]

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch

I shall be reviewing this page against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:15, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Quick fail criteria assessment

  1. The article completely lacks reliable sources – see Wikipedia:Verifiability.
  2. The topic is treated in an obviously non-neutral way – see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view.
  3. There are cleanup banners that are obviously still valid, including cleanup, wikify, NPOV, unreferenced or large numbers of fact, clarifyme, or similar tags.
  4. The article is or has been the subject of ongoing or recent, unresolved edit wars.
  5. The article specifically concerns a rapidly unfolding current event with a definite endpoint.

No problems found when checking against quick fail criteria, on to main review. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:31, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Checking against GA criteria

[edit]
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose):
    • The article is reasonably well written
    b (MoS):
    • I don't think the Lead adequately summarises such a complex article.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):
    • One dead link found, ref #21 [1]; other links fixed using WP:CHECKLINKS. ...followed by a Soviet annexation of roughly the same eastern Finnish territories as the prior interim peace treaty as part of the Karelo-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic. has a citation needed tag. I note that some of the citation styles are inconsistent, eg. ref 68 & 73;
    updated. n
    Citation need tag still outstanding. Jezhotwells (talk) 16:11, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    b (citations to reliable sources):
    • Sources appear reliable - I assume good faith for those that I cannot access.
    c (OR):
  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):
    • It would be good to have a little more detail in the captions of leaders rather than just the name.
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
