[edit] GA approved

The only thing to be changed is that :

  • The population of Antigua and Barbuda is overwhelmingly African, descended mostly from West Africans brought to the Caribbean as slaves. - why overwhelmingly ? it gives a pov on the population.

[edit] GA On hold

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force/Sweeps. In reviewing the article against the Good article criteria, I have found there are some issues that need to be addressed. I am giving seven days for improvements to be made.

  • The lead needs to be a summary of the article. See WP:LEAD
  • There are many redlinks. Are these people notable? Do they absolutely need to be linked?
  • This article is undercited, each section needs at least 1 citation

If issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it will be delisted. If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAC. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions. Regards, T Rex | talk 23:59, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA fail

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. Unfortunately, as of August 30, 2007, 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:GAC. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you make seek remediation at WP:GA/R.

Issues were not met in 7 days. T Rex | talk 23:52, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
