Good article reassessment

Good article reassessment (GAR) is a process used to review and improve good articles (GAs) that may no longer meet the good article criteria (GACR). GAs are held to the current standards regardless of when they were promoted. All users are welcome to contribute to the process, regardless of whether they were involved with the initial nomination. Editors should prioritize bringing an article up to standard above delisting. Reassessments are listed for discussion below and are concluded according to consensus. The GAR Coordinators — Lee Vilenski, Iazyges, Chipmunkdavis, and Trainsandotherthings — work to organize these efforts, as well as to resolve contentious reviews. To quickly bring issues to their notice, or make a query, use the {{@GAR}} notification template, or make a comment on the talk page.

Good article reassessment is not a peer review process; for that use peer review. Content disputes on GAs should be resolved through normal dispute resolution processes. Good article reassessment only assesses whether the article meets the six good article criteria. Many common problems (including not meeting the general notability guideline, the presence of dead URLs, inconsistently formatted citations, and compliance with all aspects of the Manual of Style) are not covered by the GA criteria and therefore are not grounds for delisting. Instability in itself is not a reason to delist an article. Potential candidates for reassessment can be found on the cleanup listing. Delisted good articles can be renominated as good articles if editors believe they have resolved the issues that led to the delist.

Good article reassessment

Good article reassessment instructions

Before opening a reassessment

1. Consider whether the article meets the good article criteria.
2. Check that the article is stable. Requesting reassessment during a content dispute or edit war is usually inappropriate.
3. Consider raising issues at the talk page of the article or requesting assistance from major contributors.
4. If there are many similar articles already nominated at GAR, consider delaying the reassessment request. If an editor notices that many similar GARs are open and requests a hold, such requests should generally be granted.

Opening a reassessment

1. To open a good article reassessment, use the GAR-helper script on the article. Detail your reasons for reassessing the article and submit. Your rationale must specify how you believe the article does not meet the good article criteria. GARs whose rationale does not include the GACR may be speedily closed.
2. The user script does not notify major contributors or relevant WikiProjects. Notify these manually. You may use {{subst:GARMessage|ArticleName|page=n}} ~~~~ to do so, replacing ArticleName with the name of the article and n with the number of the reassessment page (1 if this is the first reassessment).
3. Consider commenting on another reassessment (or several) to help with any backlog.

Manual opening steps

1. Paste {{subst:GAR}} to the top of the article talk page. Do not place it inside another template. Save the page.
2. Follow the bold link in the template to create a reassessment page.
3. Detail your reasons for reassessing the article and save the page. Your rationale must specify how you believe the article does not meet the good article criteria. GARs whose rationale does not include the GACR may be speedily closed.
4. The page will automatically be transcluded to this page via a bot, so there is no need to add it here manually.
5. Transclude the assessment on the article talk page as follows: Edit the article talk page and paste {{Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/''ArticleName''/''n''}} at the bottom of the page. Replace ArticleName with the name of the article and n with the subpage number of the reassessment page you just created. This will display a new section named "GA Reassessment" followed by the individual reassessment discussion.
6. Notify major contributing editors, including the nominator and the reviewer. Also consider notifying relevant active WikiProjects related to the article. The {{GARMessage}} template may be used for notifications by placing {{subst:GARMessage|ArticleName|GARpage=n}} ~~~~ on user talk pages. Replace ArticleName with the name of the article and n with the subpage number of the reassessment page you just created.

Reassessment process

1. Editors should discuss the article's issues with reference to the good article criteria, and work cooperatively to resolve them. Comments should focus on the article's contents and adherence to the good article criteria.
2. The priority should be to improve articles and retain them as GAs rather than to delist them, wherever reasonably possible.
3. Interested editors can indicate their intention to fix the article and give updates on their progress in the GAR. Commentators should periodically check the GAR and give additional comments when necessary. Wikipedia is not compulsory and editors should not insist that commentators, interested editors, or past GAN nominators make the suggested changes, nor should they state that edits should have been completed before the GAR was opened.
4. If discussion has stalled and there is no obvious consensus, uninvolved editors are strongly encouraged to add a new comment rather than closing the discussion.
5. If discussion becomes contentious, participants may request the assistance of GAR coordinators at Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations. The coordinators may attempt to steer the discussion towards resolution or make a decisive close.

Closing a reassessment

To close a discussion, use the GANReviewTool script on the reassessment page of the article and explain the outcome of the discussion (whether there was consensus and what action was taken).

1. GARs typically remain open for at least one month.
2. Anyone may close a GAR, although discussions which have become controversial should be left for closure by experienced users or GAR coordinators.
3. If a clear consensus develops among participants that the issues have been resolved and the article meets GACR, the reassessment may be closed as keep at any time.
   • If there is no consensus, the reassessment may also be closed as keep.
4. After at least one month, if the article's issues are unresolved and there are no objections to delisting, the discussion may be closed as delist. Reassessments should not be closed as delist while editors are making good-faith improvements to the article.
   • If there have been no responses to the reassessment and no improvements to the article, the editor who opened the reassessment may presume a silent consensus and close as delist.
5. If the article has been kept, consider awarding the Good Article Rescue Barnstar to the editor(s) who contributed significantly to bringing it up to standard.

Manual closing steps

1. Locate {{GAR/current}} at the the reassessment page of the article. Replace it with {{subst:GAR/result|result=outcome}} ~~~~. Replace outcome with the outcome of the discussion (whether there was consensus and what action was taken) and explain how the consensus and action was determined from the comments. A bot will remove the assessment from the GA reassessment page.
2. The article either meets or does not meet the good article criteria:
   • If the article now meets the criteria, you can keep the article listed as GA. To do this:
     • remove the {{GAR/link}} template from the article talk page
     • remove the {{GAR request}} template from the article talk page, if present
     • add or update the {{Article history}} template on the article talk page (example)
   • If the article still does not meet the criteria, you can delist it. To do this,
     • remove the {{GAR/link}} template from the article talk page
     • remove the {{GAR request}} template from the article talk page, if present
     • add or update the {{Article history}} template on the article talk page, setting currentstatus to DGA (delisted good article). (example)
     • blank the class parameter of the WikiProject templates on talk, or replace it with a new assessment
     • remove the {{good article}} template from the article page (example)
     • remove the article from the relevant list at good articles (example)
3. Add the GAR to the most recent GAR archive page. (example)

Disputing a reassessment

1. A GAR closure should only be contested if the closure was obviously against consensus or otherwise procedurally incorrect. A closure should only be disputed within the first seven days following the close.
2. Before disputing a GAR closure, first discuss your concerns with the closing editor on their talk page.
3. If discussing does not resolve concerns, editors should post at Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations and ask for review from uninvolved editors and the coordinators.

• Yes, this article is currently seriously below GA standards. Aside from the serious cleanup tags which need addressing, there are at a minimum also issues with encyclopedic tone (e.g. the last performer to grace its stage; the buzz culminating in a promo tour in England) and bullet-point lists which should be rewritten as prose (e.g. the §Public speaking and §Charity and advocacy sections).

This article has been at GA status for over 16 years and hasn't been reassessed since. There are a some issues that should be looked at if this article is to remain at GA status.

I brought these up at the talk page a week ago but I don't think anyone is watching.

Some issues I noticed:

• The latter section of the Career section is very poor. Most of the more recent stuff (last 10 years) reads as a WP:PROSELINE list of chronological events that has been assembled piecemeal instead of written as proper prose. (WP:GACR6 #1)
• Some of the paragraphs are very short - some only two short sentences long. These should probably be restructured to be more substantial. (WP:GACR6 #1)
• There are a few citation needed tags (and other tags) interspersed throughout the article, once again mostly in the latter part of the article. (WP:GACR6 #2)
• Not particularly a GA issue, but in general the citations in the lead & in the infobox should be moved into the body of the article (MOS:INFOBOXCITE, MOS:LEADCITE)
• It doesn't look like there are any citations at all for the Performances table (WP:GACR6 #2)
• The Filmography section is also missing many citations. (WP:GACR6 #2)

The "Plot" section has an "excessively long" banner, which might mean it is not concise. Is this still the case? The "Casting" section has uncited text, and uses IMDB as a source, which is not recommended at WP:IMDB. Z1720 (talk) 17:05, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

• These problems are genuine but seem surmountable. The nominator has since been indeffed: as the reviewer I am willing to undertake shortening the plot summary (600 words currently, MOS recommends 400) and citing the brief sections currently unsourced or cited to IMDB. That said, the nominator was indeffed for sockpuppetry, and the SPI indicates they were actively misusing multiple accounts around the time this article was being reviewed. As such I'm somewhat undecided on whether we should simply let the GA status lapse. Vanamonde93 (talk) 17:20, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

I raised concerns on the talk page on February 22 about the quality of one heavily-used source and about source-text integrity; these have not been addressed or responded to. Hog Farm _talk 02:56, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

A few notes from TwoScars

• The Official Record (p.806) uses the term "Engagement" instead of "Battle", same with Dyer (p.958). Can it still be called a battle?

• NPS calls it a battle in this article.

• It needs to be explained that Marion is near the Virginia & Tennessee Railroad, between some important salt mines and lead mines. The salt mine, located on a spur of the V&T RR in Saltville, provided an estimated two thirds of the salt used by the Confederacy. The lead mines, located south of Wytheville not far from the railroad, provided lead used by the Confederacy to produce bullets. (This is mentioned somewhat in the Aftermath section. Professor Robert C. Whisonant has written some articles and books about geology and southwestern Virginia.)
• The "Troops" section needs to be redone and labeled "Opposing Forces".

I changed the section header to "Opposing forces". Changed images, moved to right, resized. Text still needs work. TwoScars (talk) 19:34, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

• The Battlefield Protection map tells me nothing. It should be removed. The LOC map of the V&T RR, cropped to show only the eastern section of Washington County plus Smyth County + Wythe County, would explain things somewhat.TwoScars (talk) 19:51, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

Dropped Protection map. Inserted V&T RR map next to "Advance" section. It might be to big, but it always helps me to see a map of what is going on while reading the text. Moved "Stoneman's advance" map to the Background section. TwoScars (talk) 19:34, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

• Stephen Z. Starr's cavalry book Volume II barely mentions Stoneman. Stoneman's December 1864 raid gets one paragraph on page 775 in Eicher's "The Longest Night", and Marion is not specified.TwoScars (talk) 20:02, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

I checked the source other than Starr I have a copy of that I thought might include something (Welcher's two-volume "The Union Army: Organization and Operations"). The raid by Stoneman that gets a page and a half in volume I is his 1865 raid, and the Saltville activities that get several pages in Volume II are related to Burbridge's incursion earlier in 1864. Hog Farm _talk 04:40, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

Stephen Z. Starr's cavalry book Volume III devotes page 559 to the "battle". If one wants to use ancient sources: Ann S. Stephens has a book called Pictorial History of the War for the Union.... that devotes about six pages to Stoneman's Raid into Western Virginia (Dec 12-20, 1864). She calls it "Fight at Staley's Creek" instead of the Battle of Marion. The 2001 Official Virginia Civil War Battlefield Guide a couple pages on the battle. TwoScars (talk) 17:21, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

• I prefer to have no citations in the Intro and InfoBox, with any facts in those two covered in the main text.
• There does not appear to be any mention of the Union soldiers being armed with Spencer repeating rifles.
• Was Marion really and objective? I would think that the railroad and Saltville were the important things.TwoScars (talk) 20:48, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
• It has been difficult to find good sources for this battle. Perhaps a biography of Stoneman or Breckinridge? TwoScars (talk) 20:52, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

  If you head over to the talk page I just posted an extract to a biography of Stoneman that could be cited;

  it provides information - mentioning that the union forces were armed with spencer repeating carbines and this was an important factor in the outcome of the battle

  it also discusses salt and the effect of the outcome of the battle on Lee's access to preserved meat

  --

  The article says;

  > As Union forces advanced south, the infrastructure near the town of Marion—located in Southwest Virginia on the Middle Fork of the Holston River,

  Perhaps it could be made clearer that the infrastructure that prompted the battle was fought over was the salt works and the railway. LeChatiliers Pupper (talk) 22:42, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

  @TwoScars LeChatiliers Pupper (talk) 22:42, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

More comments from TwoScars

• Not impressed with the OR citations. In the OR corrections version, Stoneman's reports start on page 806. If somebody does not fix this, I will eventually get to it. The citation and reference should use the officer making a report as the author, with editors on the front page (Ainsworth, Kirkley, etc.) listed as editors. A direct link to the beginning of the officer's reports should be made. Burbridge, Breckinridge, and others gave reports. If their reports are used in the citations, let's use them in the citations and references instead of simply Official Records. If someone needs an example of what I am talking about, check out Action at Nineveh.
• Under Union Forces and Confederate Forces, we should have a list of who was fighting and their leaders, how they were equipped (if known), and their experience. Some of the text (such as "On the night of December 18, Breckinridge and his troops moved out of Saltville, Virginia, in an effort to stem Stoneman's advance." for example) belongs elsewhere. TwoScars (talk) 20:21, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Official Records

• Maybe I am having a bad day. The Official Records titled "December 10-29, 1864.—Expedition from East Tennessee into Southwestern Virginia" Summary of the Principal Events starts on page 806. The reports of Stoneman are on pages 807-815. Burbridge's reports are on pages 815-818. Breckinridge has a report on pages 824-827. What am I missing? Why do the current citations say "p.437", "p.442", and "p.439"? Page 439 is part of a report by BG John McArthur for a battle in front of Nashville, Tennessee. Are we not talking about Vol. XLV (Pt. I) like it says in the References section? TwoScars (talk) 21:47, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
  • I'm not surprised that the page numbers are off. Like I noted on the article's talk page, I found that most of what is cited to McKnight is not actually found in McKnight on those pages. Hog Farm _talk 03:02, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

After giving this some thought, I'm not convinced the article still meets GA standards. Starting a community reassessment to get input from other Wikipedians when I don't think I could take the whole article on by myself. Along with talk page complaints about it reading like a fan page (as of this diff), here are some issues I found from a glance:

• "Early life" goes into excessive details about heritage. We could just stick to a general summary where her ancestors came from, and maybe mention some relatives outside of her sister and their parents who have articles.
• The 2019 version of The Lion King doesn't need to be linked more than once within "Career" section (the 2018–2021 section is ideal when that's the first mention). It's also unnecessary to link things like Destiny Fulfilled and "Instagram" under "Fashion lines" after previous sections already do so.
• I doubt there's any need for a whole quote box on Black Is King for "Videography and stage"
• There's various redundancies when talking about Ms. Knowles' marriage with Jay-Z (who seems to be her only publicly known non-platonic relationship). When largely intertwined with both of their careers, it would probably be best to integrate details into the "Career" section and perhaps have a "Life and career" section (which I believe this article once did many years ago before getting restructured). Since she's also worked professionally with both daughters they have together (not sure about their son), such a rearrangement could also help avoid repetition of such endeavors.
• Under "Activism", the tone of "our" from "persistent in our societies" is inappropriate
• The whole "Interests" subsection seems trivial
• "Music video" is a very commonly known term that doesn't need linking per WP:OVERLINK
• Within "Legacy", it sounds like fan puffery to say "artistic innovations"
• Lots of incorrect formatting (e.g. The Wall Street Journal is missing italics from the "Fashion lines" subsection while About.com, Box Office Mojo, Chime For Change, CNN, NPR, and Recording Industry Association of America shouldn't use them at all for citations, Elle is wrongfully written in all upper case)
• I would try to find stronger sourcing than BuzzFeed, "Fashionlooks.com" Metro, and "quotefancy", also there's some dead links that need fixing/replacing

The above isn't an exhaustive list of the problems this article has, and others are free to list other qualms they have. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 01:51, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

The article uses some unreliable sources, like old geocities websites and an angelfire website. These should be removed, and the information sourced to them should be cited to other sources or removed. To help with this task, there are a lot of sources listed in the "Further reading" section that can be used instead. The large amount of sources listed in Further reading also makes me think that this article might not be complete. If some of these sources are not usable in the article, I think they should be removed. There is some uncited prose in the article. Z1720 (talk) 02:46, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Is the above a complete list of problems you have encountered? I would like something that I (or someone else) could use as a checklist. Bruce leverett (talk) 18:18, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

@Bruce leverett: This is a complete list for now. I'm happy to take another look when the above are completed. Other editors are welcome to also post concerns, and after a re-review I might find other concerns. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions. Z1720 (talk) 18:26, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

I don't think it's unreasonable for me to ask you to do a little more work here. Before I commit hours to this effort, I want to know if there's light at the end of the tunnel. It is not realistic to kick off a GAR without some idea of how much effort it will involve. Bruce leverett (talk) 21:18, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

@Bruce leverett: The GA criteria is at WP:GA?. Any editor can review and determine what needs to be done so that the article meets the criteria. Wikipedia is a volunteer service and doing a deep review takes me several hours, which is time that I do not have. I am happy to re-review this article once editors finish making improvements and determine that it meets the GA criteria: pinging me here is the best way to ask me to re-review. Any questions about the criteria can be posted at WT:GA. Any questions about the article can be posted below. Z1720 (talk) 13:18, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

It seems that the article was not based on any of the serious biographies, such as the ones by Linder and Linder, by Moran, or by Kotov, but on various tertiary sources, including some that are self-published, such as Bill Wall's pages (the geocities links), and "chess vignettes" (the angelfire link). To restore it to goodness, it would be necessary to acquire one or more of those serious biographies, and check the whole article against it, as I did with Paul Morphy, and as another editor did with Vera Menchik. I am interested in this, but I am not sure when, or if, I will ever do it.

Bill Wall's pages have been widely used in chess-related Wikipedia articles, in spite of being self-published, because they have been convenient to use. However they have also been peripatetic. The last location where one could find them was at http://billwall.phpwebhosting.com, but they are gone from there. On chess.com Wall announced (very recently) that one could look for him at https://sites.google.com/view/billwallchessarchive/, and there is a fine website of his there, but it does not link to any of his history articles.

There is a "promotional tone" orange banner at the top of the article since 2020: has this been resolved? Information about Everest's career seems to stop at 2011, when this article was promoted.

From a quick read, I agree with the promotional tone banner, and would support a delist on those grounds alone if not corrected. Fashion is something I have no interest in personally.

There is uncited text throughout the article. At over 10,000 words, WP:TOOBIG recommends that information be spun out. Is there information that can be summarised more effectively and moved to other articles? There is an orange "update needed" banner on top of the "Imprisonment" section that needs to be addressed. "Amnesty International concert and membership controversy" has a very large block quote that I do not think is necessary. Can this be summarised and removed? Lenta is used as a citation, which according to WP:RS/P is on the Wikipedia spam blacklist. These sources should be replaced. Z1720 (talk) 02:34, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Over 5,000 words (half the article) are devoted to PR's 2012 protest in the cathedral, their arrest, trial, sentencing and subsequent worldwide reactions. I'm wondering whether than can be spun out into a separate article and summarised far more briefly in the main article. Sionk (talk) 14:03, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

That's clearly the right thing to do, yes. Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:37, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

Ok, I've made the subsidiary article Pussy Riot 2012 trial, and replaced its text with a "main" link and summary. This has halved the article's length and removed most of the problematic subsections. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:18, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

This section “Subsequent court cases and other events” seems long. Maybe move all to above page and recap in this article? Dw31415 (talk) 17:40, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

I've paraphrased the Amnesty section block quote. I note that this will probably be part of the spun-off article, i.e. the whole chapter will probably be reduced to a brief section with "main" link. Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:47, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi all, I was just randomly looking for something good to contribute toward. It seems the introduction is a little long. Thoughts? It seems like a lot of stuff in there is related to their activism. Maybe a dedicated section for that? Other thoughts on where i might help? Dw31415 (talk) 17:26, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Now that I've spun out the 2012 trial to a subsidiary article, I think the article is pretty coherent. The activism is tightly integrated with the group's performances, to the extent that it's not obvious how they could be separated. I suggest we just close the GAR as Keep at this point.

Angevin kings of England

After a short review, it has become clear that the article contains original research and copyright violations, thus it does not meet GA2c and GA2d. Taking into account that the nominator has a long history of copyright infringement and they tend to copy texts from a source and citing an other work, we can hardly determine whether the unverified statements listed below contain closely paraphrased texts or texts copied from copyrighted material. Borsoka (talk) 03:51, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

GA2c: Unverified claims

• In 1171, Henry invaded Ireland to assert his overlordship following alarm at the success of knights that he had allowed to recruit soldiers in England and Wales, who had assumed the role of colonisers and accrued autonomous power, including Strongbow.
• In Le Mans in 1182, Henry II gathered his children to plan a partible inheritance in which his eldest son (also called Henry) would inherit England, Normandy and Anjou; Richard the Duchy of Aquitaine; Geoffrey Brittany, and John Ireland. This degenerated into further conflict. The younger Henry rebelled again before he died of dysentery and, in 1186, Geoffrey died after a tournament accident. In 1189, Richard and Philip II of France took advantage of Henry's failing health and forced him to accept humiliating peace terms, including naming Richard as his sole heir.
• After his coronation, Richard put the Angevin Empire's affairs in order before joining the Third Crusade to the Middle East in early 1190. Opinions of Richard by his contemporaries varied. He had rejected and humiliated the king of France's sister; deposed the king of Cyprus and sold the island; insulted and refused to give spoils from the Third Crusade to Leopold V, Duke of Austria, and allegedly arranged the assassination of Conrad of Montferrat. His cruelty was exemplified by the massacre of 2,600 prisoners in Acre.
• Leaving England permanently in 1194, Richard fought Philip for five years for the return of holdings seized during his incarceration.
• ….Eleanor would spend the rest of her life in captivity. John's behaviour drove a number of French barons to side with Philip, and the resulting rebellions by Norman and Angevin barons ended John's control of his continental possessions—the de facto end of the Angevin Empire, although Henry III would maintain his claim until 1259.
• The rebellion of his English vassals resulted in Magna Carta, which limited royal power and established comon law.
• Marshall won the war with victories at Lincoln and Dover in 1217, leading to the Treaty of Lambeth in which Louis renounced his claims.
• William Marshall saved the dynasty, forcing Louis to renounce his claim with a military victory
• Gillingham (2007a) is a chapter on pages 63–84, but pages 3–8, 10–12, 16, 18, 21–22, 119–121, 279–281, 286, 299 are cited in the article. Borsoka (talk) 03:51, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

GA2d: Copyright infrigement

• As far as it is known, there was no contemporary name for this assemblage of territories, which were referred to—if at all—by clumsy circumlocutions such as...

  "...the Angevin Empire was the dominant polity in Western Europe, there was, so far we know, no contemporary name for this assemblage of territories. When anyone wanted to refer to them there were only clumsy circumlocations available.."

• Pope Adrian IV had given Henry a papal blessing to expand his power into Ireland to reform the Irish church.

  "In 1155 Pope Adrian ... gave Henry a blessing to expand his power in Ireland,...exhorting Henry to reform the Irish church."

• ...Henry II tried to give his landless youngest son John a wedding gift of the three castles of Chinon, Loudun and Mirebeau.

  "To provide for John, Henry gave him a wedding gift of three castles: Chinon, Loudun and Mirebeau." Borsoka (talk) 03:51, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

Spotchecks by myself and Cielquiparle have revealed significant integrity problems with the citations provided, in that they often do not verify the content they're attached to. A citation spotcheck does not appear to have been done in the GAR by 750h+. This was first discussed at the DYK nom for this article, where the nom was closed as a fail on these grounds.

There is uncited prose throughout the article. The article has too many small sections, some of which are only a sentence long. This doesn't follow criteria 2 regarding the article layout. (MOS:PARA) I also do not think the article meets WP:NPOV. It seems like this article is written to highlight the politician's adherance to popular Democratic policies in 2025. I think most of the prose about their political career needs to be removed, while his most important initiatives (not just votes on issues) are highlighted. Z1720 (talk) 15:26, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

This does stink of editors seeing news articles and adding quick 1 sentence mentions in an unorganized form, resulting in the plethora of small sections. Part of the GA criteria is organization, as Z1720 describes in the nomination. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 17:46, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

The article has uncited statements. It is also quite long, at over 10,000 words: I think some information can be spun out or removed because it is too much detail. The article has many block quotes, which are not needed for the reader to understand the context and contributes to its long length. Z1720 (talk) 15:14, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

This is an important subject. I'll at least take a look. Hog Farm _talk 04:13, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Honestly this article appears quite notable, rated as high importance for US history, in that context I don't think I find its length objectionable or unmanageable.

Some quote could be removed and summarised;

"We ... find that a part of your Majesty' s subjects, in the Province of the Massachusetts Bay, have proceeded so far to resist the authority of the supreme Legislature..."

"Whenever the army under command of General Gage, or any part thereof to the number of five hundred..."

--

Where as I would oppose the removal of the quote from participates in the battle that seems more relevant to the article at hand, so without some other reason to suggest they represent a POV that should not be included I think they are fine.

--

I am unable to find any statements in the article that are not cited at least at the paragraph level some uncited paragraphs exist but these appear entirely unobjectionable at least to me and the GA criteria are

> reliable sources are cited inline.

No, that is only a suggestion after all. Steelkamp (talk) 03:21, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

1. The second half of the third paragraph does not need to be mentioned in the body as it is cited in the lead. I do not believe this is against any of the GA criteria, please let me know which GA criteria that violates.

3. I'll take a go at finding citations for the unsourced parts. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 03:24, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

   I'd say the lack of explanation fails the broad in its coverage criteria. It leaves the reader with questions that aren't answered by the article.

Strange that this reassessment hasn't turned into a long list of things that could be fixed or improved, maybe the reviewing editor got distracted and will get back to it? My two cents. I feel like the article has accumulated lots of bits of pieces and needs cleanup and refocus. Imagine an article that would explain and introduce the show to an encyclopedia reader who was not familiar with the show and had never heard about it before at all. The third paragraph of the lead section is also a cluttered unfocussed mess. This article is supposed to be about Friends, I would summarize more and reduce the details about the Joey spin-off to only one paragraph if possible (definitely remove the long quote from Bright). The international broadcast section feels a lot like boring list, editors might need to read MOS:TVINTL again. Rather than downgrading the article for failing reassessment, editors might better think of this as an opportunity to bring this up to Featured article quality. -- 109.77.194.177 (talk) 14:00, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

• A reviewer does not have to list a whole bunch of problems in a GAR, and I think being succinct is more effective than an overwhelming list. Editors can address concerns, add concerns and fix up anything they feel they need. Z1720 (talk) 22:30, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Improvements

• I deleted the home media table as it was largely cited by Amazon webpages
• I removed much of the post-2005 distribution rights as it is dreadfully unencyclopedic
• I condensed the distribution section, it's not perfect but much better than before
• The reception and legacy sections are fine, largely unchanged from previous review
• I cut the lead down, particularly the third paragraph.
• I didn't read the plot or character sections so let me know if anyone has a problem there

There are some uncited statements in the article, including entire paragraphs. When the article was first promoted to GA status, it was about 6200 words. It is now over 10,000 words, and WP:TOOBIG recommends spinning out articles of that size. Is there any information in the article that can be spun out or stated with less words, to make this article more concise? The "Demographics" section seems to end at 2016. Are there more up-to-date statistics? Z1720 (talk) 04:01, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose: The article already makes abundant use of WP:SUMMARYSTYLE, and I am impressed that such a general article comes in at only 10,425 words, which is perfectly in accord with WP:TOOBIG. I have reviewed the article and tagged every instance of a missing citation. Since none of the statements are controversial, I expect editors will fill them in now that they have been flagged. Demotion seems unwarranted and nonproductive. Patrick (talk) 17:32, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

• @Patrick Welsh: I have added additional citation needed tags. The GA criteria states "All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph". The numerous citation needed tags (including for entire paragraphs and quotes) and the "additional citations needed" orange banners will need to be resolved before I can recommend that this article keeps its GA status. Z1720 (talk) 18:03, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

  Not sure why you would add those redundant tags, which make the article look messier that it is.

  As long as the unsupported content is uncontroversial, which it is, I will remain opposed.

  Placing an artificial deadline on editors to make these improvements seems counter-productive. Patrick (talk) 18:10, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

• WP:TOOBIG isn't a hard rule; note that it says "> 9,000 words – Probably should be divided or trimmed, though the scope of a topic can sometimes justify the added reading material." (emphasis mine) I think a general article about feminism should be on the larger side, and 10,000ish words isn't an exhausting length. The citation issues aren't major and can be remedied easily, eventually. Yue🌙 08:55, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

• Earth, one of the biggest scopes on Wikipedia, is under 9,000 words, so spinning off prose can be done. In my opinion, an article should be concise and spin out material into daughter articles instead of long, hard to load on slow internet connections, and have too much detail that distracts from the most important information. None of this negates the citation concerns which still exist in the article. Z1720 (talk) 13:38, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

80% of the feminist theory content of the page could be removed, and the page would lose nothing in terms of detailing what exactly feminism is. After a talk page discussion, I once removed an entire subsection on "architectural feminism" that was based on a single article from a feminist journal. If you Googled the subject, all that it returned was the Wikipedia page and the article itself. This is what I'm talking about: this article has chronic issues with detailed descriptions of incredibly minor topics, in this case one so minor it couldn't even warrant its own article. Pernicious.Editor (talk) 00:27, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

• Support: The article has had serious length and POV problems for years now. The article received GA status in 2011, just before the advent of "4th wave" feminism, when feminism itself was significantly narrower in scope. The anachronistic issues that once plagued this article have mostly been addressed, but length issues are still present.

Feminism today has become something personal for many people, which I think is the source of the POV and length issues. I honestly believe the only reason this article has maintained GA status for so long despite its glaring issues is that feminist editors see delisting it as an attack on feminism itself. Because of that, I doubt it will ever be delisted, even though it hasn't deserved GA status for nearly ten years. Pernicious.Editor (talk) 00:12, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

What are the POV issues? Patrick (talk) 16:40, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Just a note, we generally use "keep" or "delist" at GAR. It can be confusing to say "support" or "oppose" because it isn't clear if that means you're supporting or opposing the delisting or the keeping of the article. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 21:17, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

@Nihonjoe: The GA criteria states, "All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph." I see lots of places that don't have citations. Would you like me to add citation needed templates to those places? Z1720 (talk) 23:18, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

If there are statements you think need a citation, then yes, you should mark every one of them. It's impossible to know which ones are potentially problematic otherwise. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:24, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

@Z1720: I believe all of the "citation needed" items have been sourced now. I removed one sentence that I couldn't source from the end of the "Anime and manga" section:

In contrast to K-Pop, J-Pop is less popular in Germany and is mainly listened to by anime fans.

I've tried every which way of finding a source, and can't find anything outside of discussion forums (which aren't considered reliable sources). Any other items needing sources? ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:22, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Also removed the following from the same paragraph as I can't find a source:

Several hundred anime films and series have been dubbed into German and, since the 2010s, have increasingly been marketed with German subtitles on video-on-demand services.

Anyone who can find a source can add it back. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 19:51, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

@Nihonjoe: Citation concerns have been resolved. I am a little concerned about the length, at 10,000 words. If possible, can some of this information be spun out or the block quotes summarised? This would help the article comply with the concise requirement of 1a. I think just a once-over readthrough with a focus of summarising overly detailed information should fulfil this requirement. Z1720 (talk) 16:58, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

Undue weight/tone issues

I see a few instances of undue weight or an unnecessarily editorializing tone in the article and wanted to check with others if my view makes sense:

• "In the French language, the word orientale includes both the meaning of "eastern" related to compass direction and the meaning of "oriental", the Asiatic region. The same ambiguity is present in the Russian language, with both "eastern" and "oriental" indicated by one word." – This part is uncited, though I have no doubt that it's true. However, it seems completely irrelevant. I have yet to check the sources to see if it is mentioned, if it isn't I would like to remove these two sentences.
• "Thus, the Japanese side argues that the South Koreans misunderstand the history of the name." – This may be accurate, but it should be made clear from the examples earlier in the section and not tacked on to the end of the section. I would like to remove this sentence.
• "As a result, the international name of the sea changed from no name to the Sea of Japan, on the maps drawn by countries other than Japan or Korea during the 17th to 20th centuries." – This is very poor wording, verging on POV.
• "Contrary to the position of a few major countries..." – This whole paragraph is uncited and reads very POV. I would like to remove it, since the point it makes should be covered by a list of examples (which this section is) instead of evidence-free editorializing.

I haven't checked the referenced parts of the article yet, I assume there are more POV issues to come. Given the topic, I am not surprised. Toadspike [Talk] 09:40, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

"comparison of surveys" table

I had to look at this table several times to understand what it is trying to say. It is extremely wide (going far off of my screen in Vector 2022) and the important trend it tries to show, the switch from "East Sea" to "Sea of Japan" from the 18th to 19th centuries, is hidden in a sea of irrelevant details. To fix this, at the very least the US, FR, and DE columns should be removed. Perhaps the table should be removed altogether and replaced with a graph. The citation (to an extremely partial Japanese government webpage – not ideal) needs to be reformatted to actually link to the data, not just to the main page of the report.

FYI the relevant criteria is "reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged.... must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose)". IMO concerns should be expressed in that context. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 17:15, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

I was not arguing either way, just for a clearly expressed-concern that uses the criteria as a guide. And so an uncited statement per se is not a violation.

I've been considering this nomination for a while. This is a 2013 promotion that underwent a peer review in 2016. My most pressing concern is the failure of criterion 2b (reliable sources), with multiple self-published sources, primary sources, and other problematic material used. I've added inline or banner tags for all of these issues (though some of these have gone unresolved for over a year). I also doubt the article clears criterion 3a (addresses main aspects) with the number of high-quality scholarly sources left unused in § Further reading. Delist. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 23:18, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

Having worked as one of the major contributors to the article, I've also notified the relevant WikiProjects of this reassessment. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 23:49, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

i concur, i'm surprised that the article doesn't even source napier's anime from akira to howl's moving castle. i see sources from travel websites and amazon (twice), and it seems as though the accolades section has been flagged as requiring attention for over a year. unless all of these issues are fixed quickly, i (regrettably) call to delist.

• I'm concerned with the broadness of this page. This is a polity of 70 years, but little is covered outside of History. I don't think a Geography section is needed given it would likely replicate current Armenia, but there should be coverage of the population and culture. Perhaps the article could have more on the raions and cities, and more on the economy and infrastructure. This was surely a time of huge change. Lastly, should there be an extended paragraph on the flag based only on the Memoirs of Nikita Khrushchev? CMD (talk) 06:27, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

  I think the point is this is a page that will predominantly need to reflect a specific historical period and politics, population and culture will to a large extent be subsumed into that (for example, note the religious aspects discussed during the Thaw section). However, will try to address some of these issues. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 23:01, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

  Other aspects should not be subsumed under History on this article, that would only be the case for a dedicated History article (currently there is not one). As a comparison, consider East Germany. A much broader coverage of politics, administration, economics, demographics, and culture, as well as a Legacy section, possibly relevant here too. CMD (talk) 02:22, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

  FWIW WP:SIZERULE; the DDR article is somewhat bloated. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 20:19, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

  I think we may need to quick fail/delist this. I'm seeing some sections which appear to be close paraphrasing of "A concise history of the Armenian people: (from ancient times to the present)" by George A Bournoutian. The text previously referenced was the 5th edition, however I accessed the 2nd edition at the archive.org library, and this shows sections which have been simply reordered. I'll need to do a full check. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 23:00, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

  The DDR article is long because of its 4,000 word History section, this has little bearing on the rest of the sections. That's also more GACR3b, not GACR3a, which is the issue here. Thanks for the copyvio note, that's a rough find. I don't seem to have access at archive.org. Looking at early revisions, the 2006 version was initially cited[1].

I did a pass wielding the "Armenian concise history" book—added citation, expanded, shuffled info, etc. Only one citation-less paragraph remains, a list of Armenian people from 20th century who defined certain period of Soviet Armenia, but I have a feeling it's just a list of successful people from 20th century Armenia who have a wiki pages, and a wiki editor loosely connected them. Since they are popular and sucessful figures, it can be assumed that they are a part of Soviet Armenia zeitgeist, but the concise history and google didn't produce anything remotely useful to prove it.

• ...beryllium is, uniquely among all stable elements with an even atomic number, a monoisotopic and mononuclidic element. I'm not sure is CIAAW enough to cite this. It verifies that beryllium is the only monoisotopic element with an even atomic number, but not the only mononuclidic element with an even atomic number. If we list all 21 mononuclidic elements, we can see that beryllium is the only one with an even atomic number, but I'm not sure is that allowed.
• The shortest-lived known isotope of beryllium is ¹⁶Be, which decays through neutron emission with a half-life of 6.5×10⁻²² s. Is it notable? Even it is, as the half-lives of ¹⁵Be and ¹⁶Be are 790±270 ys and 650±130 ys, there should be a footnote as in the article technetium to explain why the shortest-lived known isotope cannot be determined based on existing data. It is quite a trouble to me.
• No beryllium silicide has been identified. I can't verify this. Perhaps it appears somewhere else where I missed, or it adds another [citation needed] into the article.
• Although Wöhler first used to term "beryllium" in 1828, it is not the first word derived from beryl. The names "beryllina", "beryllerde", "berylline" (all from doi:10.1007/s10698-022-09448-5) were used before "beryllium", and perhaps should be mentioned in the article.

• Beryllium silicide (in the form of nanoclusters) is the subject of a few density functional theory studies (doi:10.48550/arXiv.1205.5931, doi:10.1016/j.cplett.2012.04.002) and appears to have been created at least once in real life (doi:10.1016/S0009-2614(02)01637-8), so I would say that "no beryllium silicide has been identified" is incorrect now.

There is an Etymology section where I moved come content about "beryllina". Johnjbarton (talk) 04:22, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

There are still 3 "citation needed" tags on this article. They are somewhat hard to find references for:

• It thus has very high ionization potentials and strong polarization while bonded to other atoms, which is why all of its compounds are covalent. This seems hard to prove - there are no ionic beryllium compounds? What about the fluoroberyllates? It may be better to just find a reference for Beryllium's chemical behavior is largely a result of its small atomic and ionic radii..
• the attached carbon still bears a negative dipole moment. May be supported by the reference immediately preceding it, but I can't access the work.
• Naturally occurring beryllium, save for slight contamination by the cosmogenic radioisotopes, is isotopically pure beryllium-9 [...] May be in Chemistry of the Elements or another reference work. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry only touches on its nuclear properties briefly.

I fixed two of those. Johnjbarton (talk) 22:54, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

• Comment: Some citation needed tags still remain. Z1720 (talk) 16:33, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

  When I looked at the article just now, I found two citation needed tags remained. I added a few sources that should address these specific issues, and one elsewhere (the new Handbook of the Chemical Elements from Springer is a nice reference work, but didn't have much regarding nuclear properties), but the claims seemed at least in one case exaggerated (and in one case definitely based on a preprint, though it's been published by now). Thanks to everyone else working on this and it's appreciated if you could take a look at these additions and see if they're appropriate - I could just be missing something in regards to the nuclear cross section sizes, which is why I didn't go as far as to include numbers, since they appear to change with every publication and there wasn't an obvious recent source I found.

  @Z1720, @Johnjbarton, @Nucleus hydro elemon: This GAR has been open for a while and the obvious problems have been remedied. Do all of you feel like it has been brought back to the current Good Article standard? Reconrabbit 13:56, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

  I think this article is already at GA standard. Nucleus hydro elemon (talk) 14:55, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

  I have read the article and made additional fixes. In my opinion this is a Good Article. Thanks to everyone who reviewed and fixed. Johnjbarton (talk) 16:12, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

• Comment: I'm not familiar with this kind of article but it appears that there mays till be some unsourced areas such as:

  producing the nuclear reaction... Small amounts of tritium are liberated when 94Be nuclei absorb low energy neutrons in the three-step nuclear reaction... The species [Be3O(H2PO4) 2- is notable for having a 3-coordinate oxide ion at its center. Basic beryllium acetate, Be4O(OAc)6, has an oxide ion surrounded by a tetrahedron of beryllium atoms... With organic ligands, such as the malonate ion, the acid deprotonates when forming the complex. The donor atoms are two oxygens... independently isolated beryllium in 1828 by the chemical reaction of metallic potassium with beryllium chloride, as follows:... and The thermal expansion is anisotropic: the parameters (at 20 °C) for each crystal axis are αa = 12.03×10−6/K, αc = 8.88×10−6/K, and αaverage = αV/3 = 10.98×10−6/K.

  although I suspect some of these may just need some rearranging so that the source is at the end of the sentence. IntentionallyDense ^(Contribs) 04:07, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

  The first sentence on neutrons is sourced by [22] in the following sentence. I do see that the tritium liberation seems to be missing a reference - working on it. I added a journal article that discusses the beryllium phosphate/acetate structure. I can't read the full text of "Warum ist Beryllium so toxisch?" but it does appear to discuss the deprotonation action of beryllium as it forms complexes. Can't read the 1968 edition of Discovery of the Elements but the 1956 edition cited at the end of the following paragraph to "independently isolated beryllium in 1828..." supports that whole section. For the last one, I have no real basis for this but the thermal expansion parameters are probably in the reference right before the note (Selected Values of the Crystallographic Properties of the Elements).

There are some uncited statements in the article, including entire sections. The lead does not summarise all major aspects of the article. Z1720 (talk) 23:28, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

This article came about after being excised from the (large) parent article. Been ages since I looked at it - will do so at some point this week. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:51, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi Casliber do you still intend to work on this article? No worries if not. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 21:17, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Yes. A few bits and pieces (citing or removing the Cambodia section, also pondering about what to do with the Folktales section at bottom) and rejigging the lead Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:09, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Casliber, follow up poke, just checking you're still interested. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:35, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

Yes. Will do over weekend. I have commented out unreferenced section as I suspect it will require more snooping than I am prepared to do currently - I'll make a note on the talk page for later. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 01:20, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

This hasn't seen any activity since December apart from one section being commented out, I'm inclined to close as delist unless someone intends to make improvements soon or there's a consensus to keep. Potentially this could be kept by excising the remaining unsourced material. @Casliber and AirshipJungleman29:, any thoughts? Trainsandotherthings (talk) 21:16, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

I had commented out the main chunk of material (I thought all of it...??? Oh, found and removed some more). The outstanding issue was rejigging the lead. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 02:45, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

Actually not too sure what to do about the lead. Is a little small but as much of the article is quite listy in its content, it'd be making a mini-list in lead, which I don't think is that helpful Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 02:58, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

• I am unsure how to evaluate the broadness of this article. The article states that "the entity known today as the vampire originates almost exclusively from early 18th-century Central Europe", but the article body seems to extend the article to... anything that drinks blood? If the focus is the 18th-century mythology, then the continental division doesn't feel like it makes much sense. If the focus is anything drinking blood, or similar, then the balance between the sections seems very off (even then continental division seems unlikely to be related to vampires, but taking it as a rough category is probably fine).
