Observation

edit
GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

MOS is followed throughout the article. Good written English, easily comprehended.

  1. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

The archive of Reference 7 advises This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine.

This is a very old article (started life in 2002). There needs to be a consistent application of the archived URL either before or after the original link; this application should be consistent throughout this article; a number of reversals were encountered.

  1. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):

Given this is a politician, the article is relatively broad and balanced with respect to his career, departure from politics and return as PM who loses an election. Very balanced, neutral presentation.

  1. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:

The challenge of covering a politician, Prime Minister and Leader of Opposition is well managed.

  1. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:

699 editors for 1575 edits; this is an old page with the first edit on 22 July 2002.

  1. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

  • Infobox image is Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic license.
  • Image of Turner with Trudeau: copyright holder of this work allows anyone to use it for any purpose including unrestricted redistribution, commercial use, and modification.

  • Despite this page being quite old (commenced life in 2002), it is still a robust page and does not suffer from WP:PROSELINE (he did this, he did that, ad-nauseam).

There are a lot of page watchers and mischievous edits are reverted quickly. A good article, well maintained. --Whiteguru (talk) 11:42, 26 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
