Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   She was aware of the importance of science and ordered to offer Leonhard Euler to "state his conditions, as soon as he moves to St. Petersburg without delay". "and ordered to offer Leonhard Euler to .... " Please rewite in plain English. This is completely non-grammatical.

   Soon after his return to Russia Leonhard Euler proposed to the director of the Russian Academy of Science to invite the mathematics professor Anders Johan Lexell to study mathematics and its application to astronomy, especially the spherical geometry. "proposed to ... to invite" Rewrite in English observing English grammatical norms.

   OK this needs a thorough copy edit, it should never have been nominated in this appallingly badly written form. Suggest a copy-edit, a peer review before renomination. Quickfail.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

6. 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):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   This article is extremely badly written. Please get it copy edited by someone who can write good plain English before renomination. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:03, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
