The Review[edit]
GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
Hmm
- Is it reasonably well written?
- A. Prose quality:
- Seems a bit full of references to overload the prose, but this does not hinder the article
- B. MoS compliance:
- One occurance of 'meanwhile', which is a word to avoid. Otherwise, this article is fine MoS-wise. I think
- Removed. -- Banjeboi 01:02, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
- A. References to sources:
- Oh, yes
- B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
- I doubt it could be referenced any more
- C. No original research:
- Perhaps a teensy-weensy bit - what the hell are 'growing pains'?
- Clarified. -- Banjeboi 01:02, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Is it broad in its coverage?
- A. Major aspects:
- It is just an initialism, after all; well done for wringing an article out of it
- B. Focused:
- Is it neutral?
- Fair representation without bias:
- Just about. It almost tips the scales at some points, such as '"Queer" has many negative connotations to older people who remember the word as a taunt and insult, a usage of the term that has continued.', seemingly rejecting Queer as a viable alternative, but this does not really come through
- Is it stable?
- No edit wars, etc:
- No recent edit wars that I can see
- Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- Uh-oh. See here. This article is having a bit of a problem with images at the moment. Please look into it. I have left comments regarding this review on the images' deletion page.
- Images switched out. -- Banjeboi 01:02, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
- At the moment, but could change - see above
- Overall:
- Pass or Fail:
- Ordinarily, because this article has image problems, I would have to fail this article. However, I am awaiting the result of the deletion request, and so this article is now on an indefinite hold - feel free to edit it according to the other problems as noted above. Thank you - weebiloobil (talk) 20:56, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I think I've addressed all the concerns - thank you for looking into this. -- Banjeboi 01:02, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well done - I have now passed this article. Celebrations all round! - weebiloobil (talk) 21:50, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Cheers! -- Banjeboi 23:03, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
