Observations[edit]

Final[edit]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): (Good expression)
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): (extensively referenced, appropriate)
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused): (For Icelandic, Old Norse, and related language acquisition - Germanic, Irish, Welsh, Gothic, very broad)
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias: (Neutrality is observed)
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.: (Stable article, no edit wars in history)
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions): (All images cited in public domain or CC by SA)
Overall:

A well researched and referenced article on the contributions of Gabriel Turville-Petre to Old Norse literature. Makes good use of Foote, (Proceedings of the British Academy) and O'Donoghue (DNB). Origins of Icelandic Literature and Myth and Religion of the North along with the students he taught are testaments to his industry and accomplishments. --Whiteguru (talk) 05:43, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Improved to Good Article status by Krakkos (talk). Self-nominated at 09:47, 20 March 2021 (UTC).[reply]

@Krakkos: The tag on the article needs to be resolved in order for this nomination to proceed. In other regards, this is a newly promoted GA and meets the newness and length criteria. The image is appropriately licensed, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:41, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review, Cwmhiraeth. I have expanded the lead and removed the now redundant template. I hope this resolves the issue. Krakkos (talk) 07:13, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. This nomination is good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:23, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cwmhiraeth Krakkos I'm not sure about the hook. It seems to me that it should state who considers it to be the best work on the topic. SL93 (talk) 23:46, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@SL93: I have tweaked the hook in an attempt to address your concerns without making the hook too long and complex. Krakkos (talk) 17:31, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine. Restoring approval. SL93 (talk) 22:59, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
