Result: No action. Article has received a fresh review by HJ Mitchell. Geometry guy 22:34, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! I just thought the Good Article review it received was a mistake. It failed on minor points, did not give explanations for what to fix, and was closed immediately. I was not even online when this happened. I think the article meets all the criteria for being a Good Article and with just a little work it will be more than qualified. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message 01:45, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Wow, that was, erm, abrupt! The points raised, while valid, were certainly fixable and, IMHO, the article should have been placed on hold to allow for the corrections. There was also not nearly enough detail put into the review (suggestions for improvement would have been a good start). I'll have a look and see if I can't come up with a review.

  • I agree with HJ Mitchell here - the points raised seem valid; but all could be fixed with a fairly small amount of work. This did not warrant a quick-fail; and more detail on the reasons the article, for example, does not comply with the MoS would be very useful. The review seems rushed and isn't particularly helpful - I think another review would be beneficial for all. ~ mazca talk 12:48, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree, that review was too abrupt. The fact that "needs more images" was pointed out as a problem indicates the reviewer didn't fully understand the GA requirements- since not having images at all is not a grounds to fail, clearly too few images cannot be a problem! Failing under MoS without a word of explanation is troubling- when things are fine, leaving no commentary can be justified, but not when failing a criteria. Something could be fixed, or it would be a checkmark. Tell the authors what. Nothing in this process- other than a quickfail- can be done in under half an hour.Bradjamesbrown (talk) 22:55, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
