GA review
editUnfortunately, this article does not meet the GA criteria at this time. The biggest issue is the lack of references. I added "citation needed" tags yesterday, but they have not been dealt with. The article needs to be thoroughly sourced before it is ready for GA status. The References section also needs to be consistently formatted. The bullet list should be converted to prose. The quotations are bulky and "clutter" the article. I would recommend using quotation templates to offset them and make the article more visually appealing. The lead section should be expanded to summarize all of the key points in the article. Copyediting is also needed, and one thing that I would pay particular attention to is making sure that all abbreviations are explained the first time they are used. For example: "...General Motors (GM)."
The article has potential, but it currently does not meet several of the criteria. The above issues should be dealt with before the article is renominated. I hope this review is helpful in making future improvements to the article. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan (talk) 00:31, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
