GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:  
    The lead seems very short and it would be best to summarize the entire article, per here.

    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:  
    In the lead, "November 24th 1981" needs to be fixed to "November 24, 1981" and any other dates that are formatted with "th" need to be fixed, per here. Also, this article is not International, so fix "24 November 1981" ---> "November 24, 1981". Also, dates are not supposed to be linked, per here. In the Events preceding the attack section, italicize "Paradise Lost", per here. The article has a red link, if it doesn't link to anything, unlink it, per here.

  2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:  
    B. 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):  
    C. It contains no original research:  
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:  
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:  
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):  
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:  
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:  
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:  
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:  
    Are there any free-use images available?
    No worries, I was just wondering if there were any available. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:57, 6 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:  
    If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

Thank you to Judgesurreal777 for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:57, 6 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
