Hello! I'll be reviewing this article as part of the ongoing GAN backlog drive. --Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 10:41, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): 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):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

Final comments

@Thebiguglyalien: Good job on writing the article. Once these few issues get addressed, I'll be ready to promote the article to GA status. The review will be on hold for a week. It's cool to see that such countries like Kiribati are getting some recognition in the political area of Wikipedia. If you're interested, I have 7 GANs related to politics (6 of them are about Serbian politics) that are waiting to be reviewed by someone, so jump in and review an article for the GAN backlog if you want to.

Vacant0, I don't want to change "had" to "has" because that would imply he's still in the position today. I've made all of the other changes. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 19:26, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

OK, makes sense. Promoting. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 23:35, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
