[edit]

I am afraid, but I'll have to quick-fail the article due to multiple reasons:

  • Recommending to have the GOCE copy-edit the article. The prose does not meet the criteria of being "clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct". We have many phrases which are unclear/difficult to understand. Example: "It may have been one Mrs. Anstruther, a friend of Carlyle's who visited Millais' home to see the portrait, telling him that it was ...", etc. There are a lot of blockquotes and other long quotations, some of which can easily be paraphrased in Wikipedia's voice.
  • It has quite a few MOS issues. MOS:LEAD states that the lead section should be a summary of the article. We have a single sentenced lead that is never mentioned in the prose. We have MOS:SANDWICH issues, etc.
  • Few of the direct quotations and text lacks a citation, when direct quotations should definitely have one. Few of the references lack an url-access date.

Overall, it will take a long time, or even a complete re-write of the article to fix these issues. So I am failing the nomination for now, but suggest you to keep working on these issues, and do renominate after they have been fixed. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 04:09, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
