Hi! I'll be completing the GA review of this article, and should have the full review up soon. Dana boomer (talk) 00:50, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   •  Done In the second paragraph of the History section, "The 1997 change from using hardware to make phone call switches to using software to make phone call switches..." is unwieldy. It would be great if you could reword so that you don't use "to make phone call switches" twice. Suntag comment I removed the sentence. See below.
   •  Done In the last paragraph of the History section, you mention "serial entrepreneur Samir Lehaff". Who is he? I don't see him mentioned before in the article, and then suddenly his name is dropped.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

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

   •  Done I added a fact tag in one place where I would like to see a reference. Suntag comment That sentence was developed from Voice_over_Internet_Protocol#History, which identified Level 3's 1997 actions as important to the VoIP history. I searched for a more definitive reference to support the sentence, but couldn't find one and ended up removing the sentence.
   •  Done I'm a little confused as to why you suddenly start providing publishers for the magazines in the last few references (six of the last eight). They're probably not necessary, but if you really want to have them, you should do it for all of the magazines. Suntag comment I added the publisher info when I had it. I agree that it probably isn't necessary and removed the info.

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:

   A few questions/comments about prose and references, so I am placing this review on hold. Please let me know if you have any questions. Dana boomer (talk) 01:08, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

   Everything looks good with this article, so I'm going to pass it to GA status. Nice work, and thanks for the prompt response. Dana boomer (talk) 00:43, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
