  • Broad in its coverage:

    (b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style) 
  • Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.

  •   All images used in the article are public domain, so there is no risk of copyright violation. All of them serve relevant illustrative purposes when used here, and all are definitively captioned. Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 09:50, 3 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

    (a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content

      I'm actually surprised this nominee had to wait roughly four months to be selected for review; it's such an easy pass. Well, it can be considered as done, now. Congratulations! Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 14:36, 3 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
