GA Review

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

• • lead should include Heracles and Iole's story in a little more detail. about she being an indirect cause of his death. her husband and son.
    • put additional on lead
  • violation of WP:LAYOUT: Images - text sandwiched between imgs, imgs not spread out (Reduce imgs)
    • reduced images to a minimum plus spread out more

1. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   • Good work on sourcing but avoid oversourcing. 1 ref per sentence, 1 ref for the whole para is OK, if each sentence is attributed to the same ref.

• reduced references to a minimum

1. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

• • son Cleodaeus, siblings, mother not discussed
    • added information on Cleodaeus, siblings, and mother
  • the focus should be Iole, not Heracles or Deianera, their story can be curtained. Also the story of centaur Nessus.
    • focused more on Iole and curtailed Heracles and Deianera and Nessus

1. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

2. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

3. 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):

4. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   All the best improving the article.

• Too many quotes in Other versions section; merge as text. For (looks like wikiquote) policy, see WP:QUOTE.

• reduced quotes to a minimum

• Winning Iole in a contest covers more than what it's title says. Please rename appropriately.

• changed heading to reflect what the section is about

• Maintain consistency in spellings, 3 versions Deianera, Deianira, Deianeira are found. Just choose 1

• made one spelling

• A rewrite considering WP:QUOTE policy and WP:UNDUE is needed, with additional info about family.

• copyedited accordingly

Plutarch

Parallel Lives of Iole and Clusia: An exact citation, please, for this figment. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 02:32, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Appears to be Pseudo-Plutarch. --Akhilleus (talk) 02:49, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Took out the Plutarch items that seem to be in dispute. --Doug Coldwell ^talk 11:46, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Not helpful. When described for what it is, not the Parallel Lives, it's a useful reference. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 15:44, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
