GA Review
[edit]I am failing this article's GA nomination due to multiple major problems, mainly with referencing. Below is a list of specific major problems that contributed to this failing:
- Extensive under-referencing, including several sections that are almost completely un-referenced and multiple fact tags.
- Picture galleries are discouraged by MOS unless all of the pictures in them contribute significantly to the reader's knowledge. Instead, distribute the pictures throughout the article, especially the last part which has no photos.
- Web references need publishers and access dates.
- The Bibliography should go after the References section and should probably be retitled "Further reading".
- References should go immediately after punctuation, with no spaces between the punctuation and the reference. Also, references should follow punctuation, not precede it.
These are just the things that I have seen on a quick run through of the article. I would also suggest doing a thorough run through for prose and grammar before resubmitting the article for GA review. If you have any questions, please contact me on my talk page.
