GA Fail
[edit]I have failed the GA nomination for this article. In particular, this article has a strong voice of bias against the subject matter and has several uses of weasel words, even in the lead sentence ("widely referred to as a doomsday cult"). I'm not saying it's not, but to state this, you need a "wide" spectrum of response to substantiate this (i.e. people frm several other religions whose opinion bears notation, and with rock solid and verifiable references). Otherwise you need to articulate who considers it to be a doomsday cult. For this reason, the article fails both on WP:NPOV, on WP:BLP and also on the criteria for an article to be well written. There are several other issues with the article, such as the abuse of the term "killing", which is a coloquial term and, though it can be used once or twice, it's inappropriate to use it this many times. I would suggest having this article broadly looked over by editors who have experience in rewriting articles into factual and non-biased bodies of work. As this article stands, it reads like an anti-MR10CG pamphlet, with some encyclopedic prose. This article needs a good few weeks worth of re-writes before I'd even consider putting it up for GA again. It would possibly be appropriate to submit for peer review or even to the league of copyeditors to get some other opinions of, and assistance with, the article's quality. --lincalinca 04:14, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks. I got sick of it and wanted some fresh eyes. Media reports were harsher than this though. --arkalochori |talk| 04:16, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
- Alright I changed the "widely referred" part to "In their coverage of that event, BBC News and the New York Times referred to the Movement as a doomsday cult.[2][3]"
- You're definitely heading in the right direction then, but interdispersed throughout the article, there are still areas of NPOV concern. If you feel that it's worthy of GA at any opint, let me know and I'll give you a friendly once over review and let you know what I think, but if you go with this, then I can't give you the GA review, simply the go-ahead as to whether I think it's ready for GA. --lincalinca 05:02, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Rewrite
[edit]This article as is is based entirely on (mostly) primary source news reports instead of the several books, book chapters, and journal articles discussing the case. The most definitive seems to be Ghosts of Kanungu, which I have written an article on. I plan to fix this in the future. PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:50, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
