Assessment comments

I am employed at the Argyle Diamond mine within middle management and the information provided is correct as of March 2004.

Updated a bit on the geology of the lamproite, and updated the info about the underground which was given the go-ahead in october-november 2005. Rolinator 04:17, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Inline Citations

The GA system is in an on-going debate over whether inline citations are required or not, I recommend you change your references into inline citations, first because it helps readers figure out which refs go to what, and second because it would help people sweeping through the GA list figure out whether an article is "Well-referenced" or not. Keep in mind, this article appears to of just snuck on through the system illicitly in the first place, so this may be delisted. Homestarmy 17:45, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Well done

[edit] GA Sweeps — delisted

In order to uphold the quality of Wikipedia:Good articles, all articles listed as Good articles are being reviewed against the GA criteria as part of the GA project quality task force. While all the hard work that has gone into this article is appreciated, unfortunately, as of March 5, 2008, this article fails to satisfy the criteria, as detailed below. For that reason, the article has been delisted from WP:GA. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at WP:GAN. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at WP:GAR. Ruslik (talk) 08:39, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

The reasons:

1) The artilce does not have inline references.

2) Some webreferences in the reflist are dead.

3) The lead is too short. I would recommend at least two paragraphs.
