Checking against GA criteria

[edit]
GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    The monastery is located at an altitude of 3,600 metres (11,800 ft), overlooking the Indus valley. The monastery is a 12-storey complex, and contains many items of Buddhist art; stupas, statues, thangkas, wall paintings and swords. Successive sentences starting with "The monastery"
    It contained bone powder and a drop of his own blood. Whose blood?
    was enamoured with the gift of the statue better and simpler to just sy "geratly appreciated or liked.
    The King, who was then staying in the Nubra valley near Shey was enamoured with the gift of the statue and as a result of the message, directed his minister to help Sherab Sangpo establish a monastery of the Gelugpa order in Ladakh. As a result, in 1433, Sangpo founded a small village monastery called Lhakhang Serpo (meaning Yellow temple) in the village of Stagmo, to the north of the Indus River "as a result" repeated
    In the mid 15th century, Palden Sangpo continued the monastic work started by his teacher, Sherab Sangpo, decided to build a larger monastery here, dictated by an unusual event that occurred while choosing the site for the monastery Dreadful, please rewrite in plain English
    Historical legend records that Tsongkhapa had predicted that his doctrine would prosper on the right bank of the Indus River. It is either "historical fact" or a "legend". Can't be both.
    This prediction came to be true when the Thiksey monastery was established first followed by others such as the Spituk and Likir monasteries, which are also situated on the right bank of the Indus. Nopw the fact or the legend has become a prediction?
    Really all of this is very badly writen and much makes very little sense. Please get it copy-edited before re-nominating.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    There are a number of un-addressed citation needed tags
    Websites such as Buddhist Tourism, Kashmir Tourism, TNI Tours, A trip to India, Peak Adventure Tours are not reliable sources.
  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:
    This article is not ready to be listed as a good article yet.
    Please familiarise yourself with the good article criteria before re-nominating at WP:GAN. Please study plain English and WP:DEV and associated articles on writing such as those at User:Tony1/How to improve your writing. Also please familiarise yourself with the refrencing guidelines. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 23:17, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
