Orthognathic surgery was a good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Reviewed version: December 19, 2007

I tried to put a lot of information that I know based on my clinical experience and based on published medical papers, and this is what I thought wikipedia is about, havig verifiable information published.--Ghaly 22:04, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Failed "good article" nomination

This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of December 19, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Fail. This article contains numerous run-on sentences, dangling participles, and misused puctuation. Consider this sentence under the section "The Surgeon": "Currently orthognathic surgery is mainly performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon almost always in collaboration with orthodontic treatment, often including braces before and after surgery, and retainers after the final removal of braces." There are so many qualifications and ideas inserted that the sentence is no longer cohesive. Or this one: "In recent years, techniques have been created that may help reduce the need for root canal surgery.[9], however, it is still a common complication that can occur." The underlying structure says "Techniques have been developed, however, it is still a common complication." What techniques? Are the techniques really the complication discussed, or is the antecedent some other idea not included in the sentence? (And why is there a period in the middle of the sentence?)

2. Factually accurate?: Fail, because many sentences say that "something is known" or "a technique exists", but do not tell us what the something or the technique is.

3. Broad in coverage?: Fail, because many sentences say that "something is known" or "a technique exists", but do not tell us what the something or the technique is.

4. Neutral point of view?: Pass.

5. Article stability? Pass.

6. Images?: Fail, but not strictly necessary for GA.

This article needs considerable work, including a significant expansion and a thorough proofreading before it can attain GA status.

When these issues are addressed, the article can be renominated. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it have it reassessed. Thank you for your work so far.— EncycloPetey (talk) 00:22, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
