Checking against GA criteria

To uphold the quality of Wikipedia:Good articles, all articles listed as Good articles are being reviewed against the GA criteria as part of the GA project quality task force. While all the hard work that has gone into this article is appreciated, unfortunately, as of March 7, 2010, this article fails to satisfy the criteria, as detailed below. For that reason, the article has been delisted from WP:GA. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at WP:GAN. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at WP:GAR.

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   The article reads more like a specialist science text book than an encyclopaedia article. Consider a thorough copy-edit for style, good grammar and clarity.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

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

   I found a number of dead links with WP:CHECKLINKS, I repaired three and tagged two.

   There are large sections of the article without any citations. As inline citations are already used in part this should be applied throughout the article.

   Where books are cited, page numbers should be given, also publishers, isbns, journal ids. Please use the features of the {{cite book}} and {{cite journal}} templates to do this.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. 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):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   Major issues are: Tone of article currently un-encyclopaedic, some dead links to be fixed, lack of referencing/in -ine citations. On hold until 7 Match, major contributors and projects will be notified. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:45, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

   Although some fixes ahve been made, the main issues of tone and lack of referencing have not been addressed so I am delistig this artcile. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:05, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Edit for primary paragraph

Second-to-last sentence of the introductory paragraph reads "The free energy created [...]", which should be changed to "The free energy released [...] to avoid major conflict with the Laws of Thermodynamics. Rikke.c.rasmussen (talk) 22:15, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
