GA Review

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch

1. Well-written:

• A: Prose - Minor Fail Pass
  • While the prose is generally good, there's a few minor issues with regards to sentence structure. The article could benefit from a light copyedit, mostly to tighten the prose.

There are still a few minor issues, but none significant enough to hold it back from GA. I would recommend a thorough copyedit if you wish to take the article further than GA.

• B: MoS - Pass
  • No issues with MoS.

2: Factually accurate and verifiable:

• A:References to sources - Pass

• B: Inline Citations from Reliable sources - Minor Issues Pass
  • What makes Andrew Wilkie (3D Viribus Unitis) reliable?
    • I've got a replacement to that....--White Shadows ^{It's a wonderful life}01:18, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
      • I've removed it from the text.--White Shadows ^{It's a wonderful life} 02:39, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

• C: No Original Research - Pass
  • Everything looks good here.

3: Broad in its coverage

• A: Addresses Topic - Pass
  • The topic is well addressed.

• B: Focused - Minor issues Pass
  • I think the length of the "Characteristics" section could possibly be trimmed down a bit. Personally, I'd scrap the bit about the armoured belt, and combine the deficiency bit with the end of the armaments paragraph. Typically, you only give a very brief overview of the characteristics of the class. The best examples are here and here. Most of the characteristics stuff can be put into the overarching class article,

I think that I've fixed that....--White Shadows ^{It's a wonderful life} 02:05, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

4: Neutral - Pass

• • No issues here.

5: Stable - Pass

• • No evidence of edit-warring.

6: Images

• A: Copyright Statuses - Minor issues
  • File:Vunitis-class.jpg - the copyright can only have expired if we know the date of the actual drawing. Either add the date to the drawing or eliminate the image from the article.
  • File:Vu1912.JPG - same issue. We don't know the dates of the author.

I've removed and replaced (the line drawing one) the images in question.--White Shadows ^{It's a wonderful life} 01:39, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

• B: Relevance and Captions - Pass

Overall: On Hold Pass

Generally, the article's in pretty good shape. I'm giving the text a light copyedit, and there's a few other issues that need to be dealt with before it can pass its GA.

All the issues have been dealt with. This article is now GA! Well done! Cam ^(Chat)(Prof) 01:41, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
