This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed, listed below. I will check back in seven days. If these issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far.

GA review (see here for criteria)

Going through this article I founds several glaring flaws, and I then realised that these issues had been brought up in an FA review as early as October 2007. The review covers the issues pretty well, so please follow the link for details. Primarily it has to do with:

• Topics that are mentioned in the lead but not in the main text.
• The first two paragraphs of the "History" section are "choppy and confusing".
• Lack of references: first paragraph and last sentence of "Traditions", much of the statistics.

After almost two and a half years, there should have been enough time to address these issues, but nothing has been done. I would like to point out that – while GA criteria are less strict than FA criteria – the same demands for proper layout, comprehensible prose and sufficient referencing apply.

Normally I would give a one-week period for the problems to be fixed, but seeing how long these issues have gone without being addressed, I will just delist the article forthright. Lampman (talk) 11:51, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
