Result: This article was listed for GA reassessment almost 11 weeks ago, and the last comment was made over six weeks ago. The changes that have been made to this article since nomination for reassessment did not address GAR concerns nor did they address the problems indicated by the two cleanup banners placed at the top of the article. All existing comments on this thread are in support of delisting. Additionally, other comments made on this article's talk page are indicative of a consensus to remove GA status.

The article has not been reassessed since 2006 and there've been a lotta changes since then. Two big problems: the intro doesn't summarize the article, and some editors keep reinserting repetitive, non-neutral text. Felsic (talk) 15:16, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I agree. To say the least, it needs to be updated. But it also needs to be refactored for simpler language in some parts and more exact language in other parts. As I read through the article more and more, I would say it'd be better to revoke GA status for now, in part due to out-of-date information and also in part due to non-neutral language (regardless of whether or not it's agreeable, the phrasing needs to sound more "simple fact"-ish.) This appears to be present throughout the article. Jacedc (talk) 16:41, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
