Commencing GA reassessment as part of the GA Sweeps process. ✽ Juniper§ Liege ^(TALK) 02:12, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Issues over GA quality regarding this article echo those found in the other articles on the Song dynasty that I have reviewed for the GA Sweeps. Although this article is probably the best written, it also suffers from overlinking and the lead is too short. ✽ Juniper§ Liege ^(TALK) 18:23, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose):

   • The body of the article is well written. The layout is properly presented; paragraphs are a good size and well developed, with no single or fractured sentences.

   b (MoS):

   • Conforms to manual of style. Problems with overlinking have been fixed and reduced.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references):

   • Well referenced. Good variety of sources.

   b (citations to reliable sources):

   • Citations are to third party publications.

   c (OR):

   • No evidence of OR.

3. It is broad in its scope.

   a (major aspects):

   • Addresses major aspect of article subject matter.

   b (focused):

   • Remains focused. No digressions.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy:

   • No issues concerning POV evident.

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):

   • Images are properly tagged and justified.

   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   • Images are accompanied by contextual captions.

7. Overall:

   Keep/Delist: KEEP

I have passed this; BUT the lead is a cause of concern - it is barely adequate for a GA article of this length and needs expansion. ✽ Juniper§ Liege ^(TALK) 22:26, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
