Quick-fail assessment
  1. The article completely lacks reliable sources – see Wikipedia:Verifiability. -  
  2. The topic is treated in an obviously non-neutral way – see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. -  
  3. There are cleanup banners that are obviously still valid, including {{cleanup}}, {{wikify}}, {{NPOV}}, {{unreferenced}} or large numbers of {{fact}}, {{clarifyme}}, or similar tags. -  
  4. The article is or has been the subject of ongoing or recent, unresolved edit wars. -  
  5. The article specifically concerns a rapidly unfolding current event with a definite endpoint. -

1. Well-written:
  1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. Noted some issues below
  1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. Noted some issues below
2. Verifiable with no original research:
  2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline. Good here.
  2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
  2c. it contains no original research.
3. Broad in its coverage:
  3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic. I believe so
  3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style). Stayed on focused.
  4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each. Noted some issues below
  5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. No sign of edit warring.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
  6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content. All of the images are licensed under Creative Commons.
  6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions. Good here.
  7. Overall assessment. Not yet for now, fix some issues I have said and ping me when it's all done. Thanks! FairyTailRocks (talk) 07:21, 15 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

I may start this week, and just give me a few days because I have an exam on Monday. Thanks! FairyTailRocks (talk) 06:54, 9 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
