GA Review

[edit]

Beginning review. Prince of Canada t | c 22:55, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for criteria)

Unfortunately this article cannot be passed due to concerns outlined below.

  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    Some copyediting will be necessary to go past GA to FA status
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    Refs needed See below.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    Seems to be a generally decent summary
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
    Appears to be very neutral
  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):
    Image use under 'ethnic use' seems presentist; should show all flags used by ethnic groups, if indeed different ethnic groups use separate flags now that there is an official flag, or none
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:

Refs needed

  • Lead
  • declaration of independence + date
  • "..attracted almost a thousand entries"
  • competition rules - it is referenced later in the article, should also be referenced here
  • Muhamer Ibrahimi
  • Flags used by ethnic groups in Kosovo
  • No references supporting ethnic makeup of Kosovo
  • Ref 6 does not support the statement made in the section at all
  • Flag use during the United Nations administration
  • no cite for "no provincial flag"
  • no cite for different flag usage of Albanians and Serbs
  • A post from Flags of the World is not a reliable source per WP:SPS
  • "There is no current or historic national, provincial or regional flag that represents Kosovo's territory." is directly contradicted later in the article
  • Competition for a new flag
  • "993 entries" and "700 proposals" need to be cited; ref 8 covers the first and should be cited there. However, ref 11 says 997 proposals.
  • "Unity Team" needs to be referenced
  • ref 10 does not support the statement attributed to it
  • The proposals and final choice
  • ref 10 does not support the statement attributed to it
  • A citation is required for "The flag of Kosovo is only the fourth flag to feature a map"
