GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

The article is satisfactory, with minor quibbles, except for the copyright status of the photo showing planets in the sky, noted below.

  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    Lead has unduly complex way of saying you can't see Sun move among the stars because it's bright.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    Astronomical Almanac provides 2 definitions but article only recognizes first. "In the constellations" should have a citation because astrologers may take issue with this.
checkY Added some text to Ecliptic#Sun.27s_apparent_motion to cover the second definition. checkYFound a reference for Ophiuchus (which I assume is the potential astrology problem). Tfr000 (talk) 17:25, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  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:
  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):
    The file FourPlanetSunset hao annotated.JPG at Commons has copyright issues.
checkY I am attempting to get back in touch with the author to clear this up. Tfr000 (talk) 15:09, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This is now fixed; copyright issue solved. 71.181.112.155 (talk) 22:08, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    Fails because of the file noted under criterion 6.
    Pass/Fail:
    Passes, all criteria have been met. FourPlanetSunset hao annotated.JPG no longer has copyright issues.

Since the article fails at the moment, but there is a good prospect that the copyright status of the file mentioned above can be clarified, or a substitute image found. I'm placing the article on hold. Jc3s5h (talk) 15:27, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
