Result: Procedural close. Raised during a GAN. Article has now failed GAN with genuine issues raised. These need to be addressed before renomination. Geometry guy 22:33, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There had been concern that there was no section on Wilson's private life, on it's talk page. i believe i have rectified that. Also, added another section or two.--Briaboru (talk) 21:14, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Briaboru. Thanks for your great contributions the WW article.

I noticed that the article is currently awaiting GA review at WP:GAN. It will be evaluated by a GA reviewer there. Good Article Reassessment won't need to get involved at this point in the review process. Let's close this GAR discussion and let GAN do its job.

I also wish to share an insight. If you're serious about shepherding the article to FA status then please capitalize the first person singular pronoun. Use of lowercase "i" is like walking around with your fly down; while some may not mind it, others will giggle sotto voce and subsequently discount your input.

Keep up the good work and best wishes. Majoreditor (talk) 04:33, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment In fact, I've just failed the article, for reasons I've outlined on the talk page. It's therefore been failed twice within a couple of weeks or so. As Majoreditor notes, in fact it shouldn't have been at both WP:GAN and WP:GAR at the same time. The reasons for the fail are fairly obvious, and concern both writing issues and sourcing problems. I'm happy for this reassessment page to remain open, in so far as the major editor (rather than Majoreditor!) can receive further feedback. But I fear it's just making work for the already over-stretched crew who oversee Good Article reassessment, so would advise speedy close. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 08:34, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
