GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
It may take me a day or two to complete the review. If you disagree with any of my comments, don't hesitate to argue them - I'm willing to be persuaded. Once complete, I'll be using this review to score points in the 2018 wikicup. Argento Surfer (talk) 19:10, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- Lead
- "standard" should link to War flag
- "Since 2000, a red ensign ... has been used as the government's ...blue ensign." - This may just be my ignorance of some flag jargon, but this doesn't sound right. Maybe "in place of" instead of "as"?
- History
- "confusion at the Commonwealth Games" - the 1982 games?
- "The flag would then fly for a year before being replaced with a new one." - I think it should be more clear that the flag is left up for a year, then a new flag is raised to replace the remains of the old one. Changing tense would help some. Something like "The flag flies/flew continuously until the following year, when it is/was replaced with a fresh one."
- "The flag later provided inspiration for the flag of Alderney" - I think removing "later" and inserting "1993" would add clarity.
- "a green and white tricolour with the coat of arms of Guernsey in the centre was created" ...by whom?
- Guernsey ensign
- no concern
- Gallery of historical flags
- If ref 16 can't be repaired/replaced (see below), the "doubtful" information about the 19th century flag will need to be removed.
- Lead
- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- no concern
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- Is it verifiable with no original research?
- A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
- no concern
- B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:
- Ref 6 is a permanent dead link. I browsed the host site, but was unable to find the original source. If an archived version can't be found, the material will need a replacement source.
- Ref 16 doesn't work for me either. There isn't a website or publisher provided.
- C. It contains no original research:
- no concern
- D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
- earwig's strongest return was 9.1%, caused by common phrases

- It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
- Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
- A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:
- no concern
- B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
- no alt text for the flag images, but I think that's ok in this particular case.
- A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:
