[edit] Failed "good article" nomination

This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of February 20, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: The article would have passed this criteria, prose was engaging and made me want to know more, if it hadn't been for half of the article being in list formats. The lists need to be converted to prose.

2. Factually accurate?: Sources seemed to support assertions

3. Broad in coverage?: Failed this criteria. Almost nothing about their actual activities, what was there was in a list titled objects

4. Neutral point of view?: There were questionable assertions that were really just POV masquerading as fact.

Example: Despite political pressure and government funding cuts, the COP set up a public fundraising campaign and, with the IOC's support, managed to send a symbolic delegation to the boycotted Moscow Games, thus displaying a strong loyalty to the Olympic values. That's a major assertion. It implies there was nothing political at all behind the decision just the commitment to the Olympic values, which I doubt is true.

5. Article stability? Looks stable yes, no overt vandalism that I could see

6. Images?: Failed. No images aside from a logo, which doesn't add a lot.

When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. Thanks for your work so far. --A mcmurray 19:45, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
