This article was a featured in November 2004, but currently seems to be in a state of stagnation.

  • Certain sections of the article is almost void of citations
  • The lead section is not organized
  • There has been recent vandalism to the page
  • The Historical impact assessment section is lacking

  • Comment Lack of vandalism is not part of the criteria for featured article status. However, the article has very few citations; even direct quotes aren't cited. Also, as the nominator said, the "Historical impact" section needs a lot of work. Perhaps this was featured quality back in 2004, but that is certainly not the case in 2007. -- tariqabjotu 19:48, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Move to FARC, nothing happening. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:31, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FARC commentary

Suggested FA criteria concerns are citations (1c), stability (1e), and comprehensiveness (1b). Marskell 12:31, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
