Untitled edit
One of the most notable things about Mr Stoddart is that he does not work within the paradigm of contemporary art.
These articles expoud his views a bit more fully: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/3556356/Alexander-Stoddart-talking-statues.html

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
- Is it reasonably well written?
- A. Prose quality:
- There are quite a number of minor problems with the prose, mainly to do with punctuation. I suggest you have a third-party cast an eye on it or seek assistance from WP:GOCE/REQ. Although not required for a GA, it would be nice to have compliance with MOS:NUM as well as WP:DASH. John Simpson is a dab, and http://www.adamsmith.org/the-adam-smith-statue/ is a dead link.
- A. Prose quality:
- Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
- A. References to sources:
- B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
- A citation is needed for "Stoddart has also worked on busts of living figures he admires, including Roger Scruton and Tony Benn."
- A. References to sources:
- Is it broad in its coverage?
- A. Major aspects:
- B. Focused:
- A. Major aspects:
- Is it neutral?
- Fair representation without bias:
- Fair representation without bias:
- Is it stable?
- No edit wars, etc:
- No edit wars, etc:
- Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- Overall:
- Pass or Fail:
- All issues have been fixed, and I am now confident that the article complies with the requirements for a GA. As such, I am happy to pass this. I would also like to mention Ktlynch and Mannafredo, who have both worked to improve the article.Well done. – SMasters (talk) 03:59, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
- Pass or Fail:
- Apart from my first edit, which I bitterly regret (putting the boot into him for perceived snub of Bill MacLaren), I have done little more than fix typos and stuff. It really is largely down to KT and others. Mannafredo (talk) 11:42, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
