Jean-François de la Roque de Roberval is a former good article candidate. There are suggestions below for which areas need improvement to satisfy the good article criteria. Once the objections are addressed, the article can be renominated as a good article. If you disagree with the objections, you can seek a review. Date of review: 16 August 2006

[edit] GA Comments

This article is well done. All it needs to achieve GA status is to lengthen the lead slightly in accordance with the directions at WP:LEAD.

Since I've been working on French Canadian military in Indaian, I've notice and info box that might be of use to you. It is at the bottom of the article Lieutenant General of New France.

I'll put the nom on hold for the lead expansion. The box is not required but is a great nav aid. --CTSWyneken^(talk) 13:11, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Failed "good article" nomination

This article failed good article nomination because the hold expired. This is how the article, as of August 16, 2006, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: good, readable style, but is not WP:LEAD compliant

2. Factually accurate?: reasonably well documented

3. Broad in coverage?: appears to be missing something of Roberval's early life

4. Neutral point of view?: yes

5. Article stability? yes

6. Images?: one PD image

When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. Thanks for your work so far. --CTSWyneken^(talk) 13:54, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
