• I'll do this review.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:11, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Thanks. Take your time.--FutureTrillionaire (talk) 03:13, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

• First impression is that 12472 characters (2123 words) "readable prose size" is a fraction of the length I expected for this topic.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:36, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

WP:LEAD

• "The Jewish people still await the Messiah's first coming, while Christians await his second coming, when they believe he will fulfill those parts of Messianic prophecy." needs two citations.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:36, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
  • I managed to find a source that covers both statements.--FutureTrillionaire (talk) 13:53, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
• You distinguish between Jesus and Christ. What is the date of origin of each term and of the joint term.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:36, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
  • I added info about what Jesus was called before he was called Christ, and when he was called Jesus Christ and by whom.--FutureTrillionaire (talk) 13:53, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
• Reminder: The LEAD is a summary of the main body. All content in the LEAD should be in the main body with at least as much detail.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:42, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Etymology and origins

• This section is currently unfulfilling. I think this is due to both a poor ordering of facts and incomplete facts. Here is my rough approximation of what I would expect.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:54, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
  • "The earliest source of the word comes from the Xth century writings of Greek Scholar X in about the Xth century B.C." --TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:54, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
  • The meaning of the term in its earliest use was XYZ.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:54, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
  • The term was then found in Latin texts dating back to the Yth century. --TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:54, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Now the term permeates language with variations on its spelling appearing in the New Testament.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:54, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
• You talk about spelling standardization without presenting the prior state of confusion. Start with an era of alternate spelling(s) then move to standardization. show all alternate spellings before standardization.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:56, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
• Did adding an h change the pronounciation?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:59, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
• The first use of the term Christmas should probably be linked. Its origin of use as a term should also be noted.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:03, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

@TonyTheTiger: Unfortunately, I'm not knowledgeable of this subject enough to make significant improvements. The nominator, User:History2007, has WP:vanished before the review began, and the article is far from GA quality in my opinion. The best thing to do now is probably to withdraw this nomination.--FutureTrillionaire (talk) 23:13, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

• Withdrawn--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:41, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
