GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:O'Brien class destroyer/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Below is my review:

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars etc.:
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):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

I tried hard, but really couldn't find any issues. It is frustrating when you cannot find a single mistake without being too nitpicky. The article is already GA-class just like the ship articles of the class. Cheers for brilliant Bellhalla. - DSachan (talk) 19:43, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GA concerns

I am concerned that this article does not meet the good article criteria anymore because there is uncited prose, including entire paragraphs. While this is a well-written article, the information needs to be cited to retain its GA designation. Is anyone willing to review the sources and cite this text?
