Result: Delist for failure to meet GA criteria 1a & 1b Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:45, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This is the first time I've nominated an article for GAR. Lead is too short. Prose and organisation is poor in many places. References are not formatted consistently. Additional citations are needed. If this was nominated for GAN in its current state, I'd quickfail it. Freikorp (talk) 08:44, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for getting involved. I agree that in its current state it doesn't meet GA standards. I was going to open a reassessment but you beat me to it. A few small things. References do not need to be consistently formatted to pass GA, all that is needed is for them to be relatively easy to follow. Agree on the additional citations, prose and lead though. Also you need to message editors that might be interested in getting the article back up to standard. I will do so for you. Again thanks for getting involved in this process, we need more editors here. AIRcorn (talk) 23:16, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Aircorn: Thanks for the information. Unfortunately the original GA nominator hasn't been active on Wikipedia since 2010, and I'm not liking the chances someone else will take an interest in it. I'm not opposed to doing some work on it myself eventually, but I have other priorities at the moment, hence the nomination here. Out of curiosity what's the time limit on a GAR nomination typically remaining open anyway? Freikorp (talk) 12:07, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It varies. Some stay open for six months or more. I am trying to be a bit more proactive, but this area is poorly attended from a systematic point of view. I try to encourage editors to go the individual assessment route when possible as it is in effect a normal GA review and can be closed by the person starting it when they want. The trouble here is if I comment I shouldn't close it, but if I don't then there can sometimes be no outside opinions. I have to ignore all rules sometimes.
