GA Review

edit

This article is seriously lacking in inline references. Please take a look at WP:CITE. Because of this, it has failed its Good Article nomination. Once the article is sufficiently referenced, please renominate it. Thanks! Gary King (talk) 00:57, 12 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

This article is seriously lacking in inline references. I can only assume you have made this comment without looking at the article. Have you been looking at the same article I've been looking at? G-Man ? 06:40, 16 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
The following information lacks references:
  • "From 1907 to 1910" paragraph
  • "By the end of World War I" paragraph
  • Entire "Marriage and children" section
  • " 'Charity is a cold grey loveless thing. If a rich man wants to help the poor, he should pay his taxes gladly, not dole out money at a whim'." quote
  • "He went on to write:" quote
  • "At the 1922 general election," paragraph
  • "In 1926, he actively supported" paragraph
  • Almost all of " Opposition" section
  • Almost all of "Deputy prime minister" section

These are only from the first 6 of 15 sections in this article. Gary King (talk) 07:00, 16 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure that seriously lacking was the correct description. However I've made big efforts to bring the article further up to scratch. Since I last nominated this. G-Man ? 00:43, 29 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
Regardless, it was my opinion at the time. Since then, I have given examples of what needs to be cited. In addition, there are still several issues that need to be addressed before this is renominated for GAN, including:
  • References all go after punctuation marks, not before, per WP:FN
  • Format references per WP:CITE/ES to include publisher and access date
  • "Further reading" goes after "References" per WP:LAYOUT
  • Only include a period in image captions when they are full sentences; several of them are sentence fragments.
