GA Review

Hello! I'll be reviewing Architecture of Leeds (the article, not the actual architecture), in line with the Good Article criteria. I see there has been a previous review, and I shall be using the comments made there in this review. Good luck! - weebiloobil (talk) 16:56, 21 January 2009 (UTC) A comparison of the changes made since the last review

Oh dear

Plus points

• All but one of the pictures are properly licensced
• Passes WP:LAYOUT
• Passes WP:JARGON
• The article is broad, yet focused
• The article is stable

Urgent!

• The fair use rationale for File:Quarry Hill Flats1.jpg appears to be malformed.

Bad bits

This is not a definitive list

• Spelling and grammar: "While the first church in Leeds is thought to have been built around 600 AD.[2]"
• Fails WP:LEAD: see WP:BOLDTITLE for why
• Fails WP:AVOID: "It is generally regarded as one of the best examples of Norman churches in Yorkshire.[4]" by who? generally? one of the best? too unspecific
• Fails WP:VERIFY: "Headingley^[7] and Wetherby^[8][9] both had castles dating from this era, however there are no notable visible remains of either of the structures. Headingley Castle was redeveloped into a Tudar-Gothic Villa of the same name.^[7]" - source 7 is a photo of a hotel, with the castle glimpsed in the b/g. Where is the source for this info?
• Fails WP:NPOV: the best example being "Leeds now has some of the best high rise architecture outside of London, in particular Bridgewater Place. "

The above includes only one example for each of the failed criterion; if you need any explanation, or more examples, feel free to contact me.

Unfortunately, I feel that I have to fail the article, based on the information provided above. Feel free to relist the article at WP:GAN when you feel it is ready. Thanks - weebiloobil (talk) 16:18, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Licence Malformation

The licence for Quarry Hill is replicated three times to provide it with sufficient justification for fair use on each page. If anyone knows a better way, please tell me. Mtaylor848 (talk) 22:00, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
