Delisted due to lack of response to concerns.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 06:15, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

I am reviewing this article as part of GA Sweeps. This article is in decent shape, but it needs to be edited to meet the current standards of WP:WIAGA. I am about to outline a partial list of issues that need to be addressed. After I post this listing, I will give concerned and interested editors a week before I reevaluate the article's quality rating. I will be following along with the progress of the article and may make additional comments as it is appropriate.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 04:47, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

• The WP:LEAD is extremely long and defies current guidelines that state a maximum four paragraphs. It is currently 533 words and 3370 characters. Please shorten to four paragraphs and less than 500 words and 3200 characters.
• There are a few citation needed tags.
• According to the altviewer the article needs WP:ALT text

I don't see WP:ALT in the GA criteria. Racepacket (talk) 05:14, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

• According to the dablink checker the article has about 15 dabs in need of some attention.
• According to the link checker the article has over 30 deadlinks that need attention.
• The article has a few paragraphs without any inline citations. Please bring the article up to the current WP:WIAGA standard.

This is a misreading of the WP:WIAGA standard. If the paragraph does not contain quotes or contestable statements, no inline citation is required in a paragraph. Racepacket (talk) 05:10, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

• It is difficult for me to tell why File:MARTA Rail Map.svg is in the public domain. Was it created for wikipedia or does it come from someplace official.
• Although the File:Happymartacards.JPG photographer may release his rights as a photographer, the passes seem to be original art and it seems to me that they require a fair use explanation.
• File:Marta token.jpg may require a fair use explanation as well. I am not sure what the policy is on subway tokens.

I will evaluate the progress made toward addressing my concerns in a week. I may make additional comments as warranted. I will strike concerns that I feel have been resolved if I see progress has been made.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 05:16, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
