Hi! I'll be reviewing this article for GA status and should have the full review up shortly. Dana boomer (talk) 16:52, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
- I've made a few copyedits; please feel free to revert or discuss anything you don't agree with.
- Lead, link Laverdure
- Background, "after their intervention in" - whose intervention?
- Zaian counterattack, "Mrabtin, Aït Harkat, Aït Ischak and Aït Ichkern" - can any of these be individually linked?
- Reasons for French defeat, ""poorly prepared and poorly executed" "act of indiscipline"" Why is this written as two separate quotes? If they are separated in the source, "poorly prepared and poorly executed...act of indiscipline" would be a better way to write it.
- Legacy, "there has ever been a case" - should this be "never been"?
- a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- Three dead links - see this for details.
- Singer, Barnett; Langdon, John W. (2004) appears in References, but not in Notes.
- To be really picky, refs should be in numerical order when there is more than one in a row.
- Spotchecks reveal no concerns with sources.
- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Fair representation without bias:
- It is stable.
- No edit wars, etc.:
- No edit wars, etc.:
- 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):
- Need to check the licensing on File:Pacha hassan.jpeg. It should probably have a published pre-1923 tag, as I can't see anything on the website that gives it a CC 3.0 tag.
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
- Overall:
- Pass/Fail:
- Pass/Fail:
Some minor questions above about prose, references and one image. Once these are addressed, we should be good to go for GA status. Overall, a very nice article! Dana boomer (talk) 17:44, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
- So sorry for not getting back to this sooner - I saw your replies, but then completely forgot about the review :( Everything looks good now (the Singer ref hadn't been removed, so I took the liberty of doing so, and I tweaked the licensing on the image), so I am passing the article to GA status. Nice work! Dana boomer (talk) 15:34, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
