Hello! I will be reviewing this article for GA status. My review should be posted within the next few days. Cheers, Nikkimaria (talk) 03:51, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately I feel this article is not yet at GA standard. Feel free to renominate once the below issues have been addressed. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:24, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Writing and formatting

• "About the organization" is not an appropriate section heading - the article as a whole is about the organization
• Use "1950s", etc instead of "50s" in section headings
• A number of sections are overly listy, and should be written in prose
• Lead does not adequately summarize the article, and is rather unencyclopedic in tone (particularly the second sentence)
• Per WP:LAYOUT, External links should come after references, and should not duplicate cited sources. Also, Footnotes subheading is unnecessary, as it is the only subheading under References
• See also should not include links that are or should be linked in article text

Accuracy and verifiability

• Footnotes should appear after punctuation
• Some sections are completely unreferenced
• Use a consistent reference format
• Need more third-party sources - over-reliance on the organization's website
• "modeled on similar doctrines in England and Scotland" - the ref describes the doctrines of England, but does not support the assertion that Ontario's doctrines are based on those
• Avoid original research and synthesis

Broad

• "Aboriginal legal rights" section does not seem to be connected to the article topic
• "About the organization" should be recast and expanded

Neutrality

• Please see WP:W2W, and avoid inserting editorial bias
• Maintain an encyclopedic tone at all times
• Avoid promotional language

Stability

No issues noted
