Review section
[edit]I am nominating this featured article for review because, as noted by A455bcd9 in December 2022 on the talk page, there are significant sourcing issues, most notably huge amounts of uncited material. Issues such as structuring and a lack of recent coverage are secondary. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:23, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Promoted in 2007, very largely by Giano/User:Giano II, who is unlikely to return to it, with what was considered sufficient referencing in those days. The Portuguese article seems to be largely a translation. Unlike some recent FARs, where we are being (disgracefully) asked to nod through a completely rewritten article which should have a full FAR, this has changed little, and while I'm sure it could all be referenced, I rather doubt it will be, unless someone finds a good source. I doubt we are missing much in "recent coverage". Johnbod (talk) 16:09, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Queluz: The Palace and Gardens by Maria Ines Ferro. ISBN:978927808740 was published in 1997. The level of detail Giano has given almost certainly means that a detailed guide such as this would be the only way to find sufficient sourcing. I don't have it - does anyone else?

- This looks like it would be helpful, although it focuses on the gardens, not the palace. Landscape research records are published by the Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture which looks pretty RS. KJP1 (talk) 11:15, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Another excellent source on the grounds and, dating from 2012, it brings the "story" up to date. If we can only find a similarly strong source for the palace - see above - I think this one is salvageable. I know AirshipJungleman29 has posted this FAR on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Portugal. I wonder if it also might be worth posting on the Quelez Palace page of Wikipedia:pt? We might strike lucky with a bilingual editor who has access to the Ines Ferro!

- This has a bit on the palace, but its clear the gardens have had greater focus. KJP1 (talk) 12:22, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Possibility?
- Too touristy?
- Move to FARC No edits since early June, vast amounts of uncited text remain. Z1720 (talk) 16:59, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- How very sad, all because no current Wikipedia editor has the knowledge of the original writer. One wonders why that is? RedSign (talk) 19:26, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
