I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status.
Checking against GA criteria
edit- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose): b (MoS):
- Siam before 1932: Since the year 1782 the Kingdom of Siam was ruled by the House of Chakri founded by King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke (or Rama I). - poor construction, suggest From 1782 ...
- The capital city: Bangkok (built on Rattanakosin Island) was also founded by King Rama I. - drop the colon and relace by The capital city Bangkok, built on Rattanakosin Island, ...
- For over a century the Kings of Siam were able to protect the nation from neighbours and well as foreign nations, escaping colonialism from European giants such as Britain and France. - are the neighbours not foreign nations?
- OK, I am going to stop looking at the prose now as it is not good at all. Even the caption on the first picture is ungrammatical. Please get someone with a good command of written English to copy-edit throughout. You may get help from WP:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors, but probably not quickly enough for this review. Maybe someone at the project WP:WikiProject Thailand could help?
- a (prose): b (MoS):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- OK, excpet for last two paragraphs
- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Last sentence represents a point of view
- Fair representation without bias:
- It is stable.
- No edit wars, etc.:
- No edit wars, etc.:
- 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):
- File:Royalplaza.jpeg has an incorrect license - it is an old postcard so how did the copyright holder release this into teh public domain. The caption is ungrammatical.
- File:Paribatra Sukhumbhand.jpg - captions says ... brother to ther King. Which King?
- File:Pridi Panomyong (Scholar).jpg - caption is illiterate.
- File:Pibun.jpg - as per above
- File:สยามราษฎร์.jpg - as per above
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
- Overall:
- Pass/Fail:
OK, I am going to fail this now as I do not think the prose can be sufficiently improved in a week. As stated above you need to observe the GA criteria that an article be reasonably well written and this is a long way from that. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:32, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
