Failed "good article" nomination

Upon its review on April 7, 2019, this good article nomination was quick-failed because it:

contains cleanup banners including, but not limited to, {{cleanup}}, {{POV}}, {{unreferenced}}, etc, or large numbers of {{citation needed}}, {{clarify}}, or similar inline tags

thus making it ineligible for good article consideration. Comment: While the article is very broad, many sections need updating. This requires a lot of work (please do it, would be lovely if this article is improved!)

This article did not receive a thorough review, and may not meet other parts of the good article criteria. I encourage you to remedy this problem (and any others) and resubmit it for consideration. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a Good article reassessment. Thank you for your work so far.— Femke Nijsse (talk) 18:05, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

It would be lovely if we can work towards a good article. I think what we need to do will take quite a while:

1. Update article
2. Cut out unnecessary details in article (also makes it easier to keep updated)
3. Undergo a review
4. Undergo copyedit
5. Renominate

Femke Nijsse Thank you for your review. I will take your advice and begin work soon. Thanks!! Mgasparin (talk) 22:11, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Mgasparin, one thing to check is MOS:LEAD: among other things, a lead section should hold itself to four paragraphs, and the "well-written" criteria include adherence to the manual of style's lead section guidelines. Another is to be sure that there are adequate numbers of inline source citations for the material. I noticed a number of completely uncited paragraphs, which could be a problem if there is anything controversial or unexpected claimed in them. Best of luck!

Femke Nijsse, for future reference, reviews should never have more than the very top "GA Review" section have a level-2 section header. Everything within the page should be level-3 or below; I've adjusted your header accordingly. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:03, 8 April 2019 (UTC) And, for that matter, I should probably point out that the GA criteria states: An article can, but by no means must, be failed without further review (known as a quick fail) if, prior to the review:... So, it is not accurate to say the article was ineligible for GA consideration: you had the option to do a more complete review if you wished to, but it was certainly eligible to be quickfailed as you did.

Thanks, that helps a lot. The reason that it was level two, is that I didn't correct the standard template. Did I put the template on the wrong page? Should I have put it on the talk page directly instead? Femke Nijsse (talk) 09:43, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

No, this is the right page: all review text should be done here. You might have used the "New section" editing choice, which creates a level-2 section and header, rather than hand entering the new level-3 section—it's a matter of three equal signs rather than two around the header. Not a big deal, and very easy to fix (all I did was add an equal sign on each side of the 'Failed "Good Article" nomination' header). BlueMoonset (talk) 13:27, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
