[edit] GAN review

The review has been placed on hold as these need fixing:

• The lead needs to adequately summarize the content of the article.
• I don't feel the article has enough content. Have you done a thorough Google search or visited a library to see if more could be added.
• The gallery section needs an introduction.
• Can any info be added on the individual buildings in the National Estate section, such as when they were built and when they were added to the Register? The list could then possibly be made into a table.

Let me know once these are fixed or if you have any queries. Epbr123 (talk) 14:33, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Final GA Review

The article has been on hold for five weeks, and is due for a re-review.

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written: Fail the article has no introduction, two moderate sized sections, and a long bullet-point list, which are not near thorough enough or organized well enough even for a B-class article. Its sections are also too short, most of the paragraphs need to be either expanded or merged into other paragraphs.
2. It is factually accurate and verifiable. Fail The article only had three sources.
3. It is broad in its coverage. Fail There is little information about the first 30 years of the person's life, and only a moderate amount about the last twenty.
4. It follows the neutral point of view policy. Pass what little information there is seems to be neutral.
5. It is stable. Fail the lists and redlinks are extensive and disruptive to the Article's format.
6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. Fail Though there is a gallery of apparent works made by the person, they are not at all sufficent to discuss the subject. Images and templates about the person himself should be added, and these images need to be moved from the gallery and dispursed throughout the page.
7. Overall: Frankly, the article is not even good for a B-class article in its current state. It needs a huge amount of work before it can be nominated again. -Ed! (talk) 21:53, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
