Quick fail

Any way you could re-review our Polled Dorset page? We have 2-3 weeks of class left, and need to clean it up before then. We made the necessary changes you requested. Let us know if there is anything else we can do for good article status. --Thepresidenthal (talk) 15:29, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I will have another look and see how the article is progressing. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:14, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to quick fail this nomination as it does not reach the criteria necessary for good article status:

Much of the article is a copyright violation or close paraphrase of the sources. Here is an example -

Article - "...consequently the Dorset Horns are experiencing swift decline in registrations, making them a conservation interest."
Source - "...consequently the Dorset Horns are experiencing swift decline in registrations, making them a conservation interest."

The references are bare URLs.
The lead is meant to be a summary of the information in the body of the text. In this article it includes information on the origins of the breed not mentioned below.
The only image has copyright problems.

At the moment the article has an "orphan" tag. You can use your ingenuity to find other articles that could link to it. The Dorset Horn article is an obvious example. When you have sorted out these problems you can nominate the article again. If you need any help, please ask on my talk page. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:06, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
