[edit] GA review

In terms of factual accuracy and broad coverage the article easily meets the necessary criteria. WP:V, WP:NOR and WP:NPOV this article easily qualifies. In terms of coverage it seems to be about the right length and the right mix of topics.

The article would generally fail stability criteria as it is being changed fairly rapidly. However given that this change is primarily Epbr123 (talk · contribs). I'm tempted to be more lenient on stability. The rest of the editors seem to like the direction he's taking this article and thus there is a broad consensus on his changes. It probably would have been better to wait until after aggressive editing had stopped.

Stylistically it is more problematic. The article has a short clipped style some more attention should be spent on flowing the sentences together. Right now it reads almost like a list bullet points. An overly elementary style is not reason to disqualify an article from GA status but this well present a problem as the article progresses towards FA status. In terms of GA criteria the article is easy to read and very clear. I'm passing on this criteria but just barely. Editors should definitely focus on flow for the next round.

In terms of images I have to fail the article. We need more images of Westgate. There are some wonderful images in the references but we need about 2 in the main article. The tables are excellent but geography articles beg for photos. As a minor point, the poem ‘Westgate-on-Sea’ should be linked in the introduction as well. I'm going to fail the article (but just barely) and would urge the editors to resubmit quickly. jbolden1517^Talk 17:33, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2nd Review

This review occurred after resubmission. The article continues to be rapidly changing but the provision regarding consensus remains in effect. The few connection sentences are in the right direction and its my belief that this work will continue. The images resolve the image issue. Finally the link to the poem is now present which enhances notability. At this point I pass the article. Well done! jbolden1517^Talk 17:59, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The world's smallest town to have a featured Wikipedia article

Maybe this should be in the article! Epbr123 23:36, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
