Good article nomination on hold

This article's Good Article promotion has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write. This is how the article, as of September 14, 2010, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: WP:LEAD subsection is a little too short, this should be expanded. Recording and release - this should be broken up into two separate subsections, and the very very short paragraphs should be merged into larger paragraphs.

2. Factually accurate?: I am going to be adding some {{fact}} tags that need to be addressed soon.

3. Broad in coverage?: Covers major areas, good subsection organization and good overall article structure.

4. Neutral point of view?: Material presented in neutral manner, yes.

5. Article stability? Stable upon inspection of recent article edit history. No recent issues upon inspection of talk page.

6. Images?: One image used, appropriate fair use rationale given, on image page.

Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved. After 48 hours the article should be reviewed again. If these issues are not addressed within 7 days, the article may be failed without further notice. Thank you for your work so far.— -- Cirt (talk) 04:14, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

OK, I've been working on this...

1. Well written?: I work on the subsection as per WP:LEAD. Recording and release - I split this into multiple sections and merged paragraphs per your suggestions.

2. Factually accurate?: I fixed all of the tags and added citations where they were needed.

6. Images?: I think I can get a few more to illustrate and make it look nice.

No more images needed, that was a check saying that part is okay. :) -- Cirt (talk) 02:40, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

OK, I see! I fixed the lead as per WP:LEAD, and re-arranging it so that it summarizes the article without going overboard.--Gen. Quon (talk) 03:00, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Okay, will have another look to re-evaluate soon, a bit busy workin on an article currently up for deletion at WP:AFD... -- Cirt (talk) 03:19, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Looks good, thanks for addressing suggestions, passing as GA. -- Cirt (talk) 10:49, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
