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 February 27, 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):

   However, much of the Syrian traditions have diminished with time, mainly due to the fast pace of life in America which encourages individual independence. looks like POV

   The lead should summarise the whole article as per WP:LEAD

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

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

   I repaired seven dead links and tagged one [1] using WP:CHECKLINKS.

   Assume good faith for off-line sources.

   I have added citation needed tags where needed

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:

   Just a few issues above to be addressed, major contributors and projects will be notified, on hold for seven days. Jezhotwells (talk) 03:10, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

   No progress made in seven days so delisting from GA status. Jezhotwells (talk) 14:15, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
