GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
I was pleased to see this article up for GA status. It's nearly ready, but there are a few small things that need fixing first.
- Is it reasonably well written?
- A. Prose quality:
- The quality of prose is good.
- B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
- The lead section is of a good length and provides a good summary of the subject.
There are disambiguation links for Berwick, Cormeilles, Preston and Shoreham which need to be addressed. The Preliminary engagements section should be expanded or the small paragraphs joined together to avoid reading through it becoming choppy.
- The lead section is of a good length and provides a good summary of the subject.
- A. Prose quality:
- Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
- A. References to sources:
- References are used well.
- B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
- Citations are correctly placed and used well.
- C. No original research:
- The article does not appear to contain original research.
- A. References to sources:
- Is it broad in its coverage?
- A. Major aspects:
- B. Focused:
- The article is very broad and covers the subject very well.
- A. Major aspects:
- Is it neutral?

- Fair representation without bias:
- Is it stable?
- No edit wars, etc:
- It does not appear to be subject to edit wars.
- No edit wars, etc:
- Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- Most images are freely available on Commons; two are pre-1957 British Government images made available under public domain rules.
- B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
- Captions are good and informative.
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- Overall:
- Pass or Fail:
On hold - nearly there though. Harrison49 (talk) 19:32, 23 March 2011 (UTC)Passed - maybe Battle of Britain could be the next one to be worked on? Harrison49 (talk) 20:05, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
- Pass or Fail:
That is one can of worms! The BoB article is around 10 years old and has been the subject of running debates, battles/wars etc. It has calmed down over the last few months, but I think it will be too difficult to get to GA. Its just one of those articles Dapi89 (talk) 20:18, 23 March 2011 (UTC).
- Congrats on getting this through to GA. B of B page? As Buddy Holly once sang "That'll be the day..." Minorhistorian (talk) 02:05, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
