Checking against GA criteria

edit
GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose):   b (MoS):  
    THe tone of the article is not encyclopaedic, it reads more like a text book. Consider a thorough copy-edit throughout.   Done
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):  
    Large parts of the article are unreferenced, I have placed citation needed tags. This leads me to de-list immediately
    References supplied check out. Assume good faith for references to which I do not have access.
    Links to journal sites which require subscriptions should contain "|format=Subscription required" in the template.   Not done
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):   b (focused):  
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:  
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  
    The lack on referencing in large parts of the article is a serious concern. means that I will de-list now. I will place back on hold as User:Boghog2 has requested. Note also that the article needs to be rewritten in a more encyclopaedic tone, less like a text book. When sorted this can be brought back to WP:GAN. Major contributors and projects will be notified.

    OK, I am happy for this to keep GA status. I still think that you should put subscription required in the templates for online journals where free access is not given. However this is not a specific GA criterion. Keep GA status. Jezhotwells (talk) 13:44, 1 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Tone

edit

Could you provide some specific examples of where you consider the artcle's tone to be unencyclopedic? At first glance I don't notice any clear infringements of WP:NOTTEXTBOOK, like leading questions or systemic problem solutions as examples. Emw (talk) 04:46, 1 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

It looks like User:Boghog2 has tidied the text. Jezhotwells (talk) 12:31, 1 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
My only edits were to add some citations. I agree with Emw. I don't see any major problems with the tone of this article. Boghog (talk) 17:59, 1 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
