Good Article Status - Review Criteria

A good article is—

  1. Well-written:
  2. (a) the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and
    (b) it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.[1]
  3. Verifiable with no original research:
  4. (a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;
    (b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose);[2] and
    (c) it contains no original research.
  5. Broad in its coverage:
  6. (a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic;[3] and
    (b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
  7. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
  8. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
  9. [4]
  10. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
  11. [5]
    (a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content; and

Scott's question[52] was the second one of only twenty selected from over 119,000 tweets.[53][54][55] Given the large number of social media sites and the investment of time to update each, he follows his own recommendation to focus on a few relevant sites, foregoing LinkedIn in his case for example.[56]" All that does not belong in 'Publications'.

Re: Your request for removing the link breaks between cite attributes: I find the line breaks help readability so I'd like to leave them per MOS:STABILITY "Where more than one style is acceptable, editors should not change an article from one of those styles to another without a substantial reason." Thanks! Woz2 (talk) 22:19, 15 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
Kk, just that I find it less easy to navigate in that, but ok, its grand... – Plarem (User talk contribs) 20:48, 16 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
Re: "Add more links" - not sure what the issue is here... seems to me there a lot of links inbound and outbound already... Can you clarify? Woz2 (talk) 22:29, 15 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
Re: "isn't" The only "isn't" is a direct quote of the title of one of the cites. I don't think it should be expanded. Woz2 (talk) 22:35, 15 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
Re: reorder/rename last few sections. I read WP:ORDER and it seems to me the article follows the guidance. What am I missing? Can you clarify Woz2 (talk) 22:42, 15 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
Halfway there, but need a seven-day extension to complete it. Woz2 (talk) 20:52, 18 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Additional Notes

edit
  1. ^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
  2. ^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
  3. ^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
  4. ^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
  5. ^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
  6. ^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
