Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
"[I]n the few remarks made by Mac Da Thó to his visitors, all his previous train of though, all his cunning and address, are suggested in a few brief words intended by him to hide his true designs from his guests, while suggesting to ourselves his hidden intention." Is though a typo? I would have assumed thought! Done

The tale was apparently also popular in later times, ...was also apparently... would read better. Done

~~The red wikilink to Mag nAilbi should be added to the first instance of this place name a few lines above.~~ Done
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
Assume good faith for all offline sources.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Thorough, clear and not unnecessarily detailed.
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):
Correctly tagged, captioned and licensed.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
~~This is very good, just a few minor points to be addressed. On hold for seven days. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 00:25, 1 July 2010 (UTC)~~ Done[reply]

Good work, an excellent and interesting article, well worthy of GA status. I suggest you get a peer review and then consider going to to WP:FAC. Passing as GA. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 00:56, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that has to be my least troublesome GA nomination on record. Minor editorial fixes here per above. "Though" was indeed a typo for "thought". Thanks for the review. --Grimhelm (talk) 00:51, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
