Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for criteria)

To uphold the quality of Wikipedia:Good articles, all articles listed as Good articles are being reviewed against the GA criteria as part of the GA project quality task force. While all the hard work that has gone into this article is appreciated, unfortunately, as of January 30, 2010, this article fails to satisfy the criteria, as detailed below. For that reason, the article has been delisted from WP:GA. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at WP:GAN. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at WP:GAR.

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   The lead does not fully summarise the article, see WP:LEAD for guidelines.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   There are a number (11) of deadlinks [1]; those that are live check out; assume good faith for offline sources; references needed for past headmasters, tagged since September 2009; references needed for alumni.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   The arts section could possibly benefit from expansion and needs citation.

    Done section removed only course guff Gnangarra 08:34, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   Sport: In these years, there was no doubt in the minds of Aquinas students that when the rest of the crowd at the inter-school athletics meeting shouted Kill the Micks they meant Aquinas. Given their record of seven wins from 1965–71 in that period, their assumption was justified. If this is waht the source says then quote it directly, otherwise rewrite in neutral language.

    Doneone sentence lift out of context for the whole paragraph in which is discusses the rivalry between two school after they separated from each other Aquinas' unique position was highlighted in 1962 when Trinity moved from CBC Perth to a new site in East Perth and gained membership to the PSA. The sporting rivalry between the two schools is intense, heightened by their common claim to the heritage of CBC Perth. In these years, there was no doubt in the minds of Aquinas students that when the rest of the crowd at the inter-school athletics meeting shouted Kill the Micks they meant Aquinas. Given their record of seven wins from 1965–71 in that period, their assumption was justified and its sourced to a reliable source Gnangarra 08:32, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   Ok, on hold for seven days for above issues to be fixed. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:12, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

   The lead needs work as mentioned above, also the dead links need fixing. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:54, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

   OK, although two items have been addressed (and struck out above) the dead links and unrefernced sections have not been addressed so I am delisting this article. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:58, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
