Comments on GA criteria[edit]

Pass
  • There is a reference section. Some tidying up needs doing, but nothing serious. SilkTork ✔Tea time 10:00, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article is stable. SilkTork ✔Tea time 10:01, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have no immediate concerns regarding prose - while not being of a high standard, it appears adequate to convey the required information. SilkTork ✔Tea time 10:11, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Focus. No section, other than possibly Etymology, seems overlong or overly detailed, though some trimming of weather and population statistics would be worthwhile. SilkTork ✔Tea time 10:43, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bias. There are no obvious signs of bias. SilkTork ✔Tea time 10:46, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Query
  • Sourcing not yet checked, though I note that previous editors have flagged concerns regarding citing. SilkTork ✔Tea time 10:08, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Fail
  • MoS issues. WP:Lead does not adequately summarise the article. Images and media are cluttered and squeeze text, and spill over into adjacent sections: WP:LAYIM. There are questionable use of lists, and some sections have inappropriate sub-sections which inhibit flow of reading per WP:LAYOUT. SilkTork ✔Tea time 10:06, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article has been tagged with sourcing concerns since October 2012, which is grounds for immediate failure per WP:GA?. SilkTork ✔Tea time 14:00, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

General comments[edit]

  • Images not yet individually checked for copyright issues as image use may need to be reduced and/or adjusted. When appropriate image use has been identified, I'll do an individual check. SilkTork ✔Tea time 10:13, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

On hold[edit]

There are sufficient concerns regarding the MoS issues to put the GA listing in jeopardy. While there are aspects of the GA criteria I've not yet fully looked into, I'm putting the review on hold for the standard initial seven days and notifying significant contributors, in order to allow work to start on addressing the concerns. Meanwhile I'll do some background reading to see if major aspects of the topic are covered, and to check out sourcing. SilkTork ✔Tea time 10:50, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No progress. WikiProjects informed. Unless someone objects, the article will be delisted in seven days. SilkTork ✔Tea time 10:18, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delisting[edit]

With several concerns regarding failing to meet GA criteria including sourcing concerns dating back to October 2012, and no editors showing an interest in helping out resolve the issues, I am delisting. When concerns have been addressed then the article can be renominated. SilkTork ✔Tea time 14:26, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
