Checking against GA criteria

In order 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 August 2, 2009, 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):

   • I made some copy-edits

   b (MoS):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references):

   • Ref #5 [1]is dead; ref #7 [2] does not support the statement; I fixed some deadlinks and formatted others. Recent edits have added more unsupported statements so I will delist as there seems to be no progress on this article. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:59, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

   Pass/Fail:

   • Just a couple of referencing points to be addressed. Notifying major contributors and projects. On Hold. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:57, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
   • Recent additions are not improving the article so I will delist. It can be brought back to WP:GAN when fully referenced. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:59, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
