Initial comments

After a fairly quick read through (this is a long article!) this article appears to be at or about GA-level; it's comprehensive and well-referenced. I'm now doing to do a detailed review section by section but leaving the WP:Lead until last. This might take a day or so. Pyrotec (talk) 20:17, 28 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

  • These appear to be compliant.

Summary

edit

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


A wide-ranging well-referenced article.

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:  
    B. MoS compliance:  
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:  
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:  
    Well referenced, but many of the web links are broken.
    C. No original research:  
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:  
    B. Focused:  
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:  
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:  
    This is quite a comprehensive article in terms of text, but for this length of article images are under-represented.
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:  
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:  

The earlier problems with some web references being broken have been repaired by the nominator. I'm now awarding GA-status. Congratulations on the qulity of the article. Pyrotec (talk) 16:26, 6 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
