Criteria edit

Good Article Status - Review Criteria
Further information: WP:WIAGA

A good article is—

  1. Well-written:
    2. (a) the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and
    (b) it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.[1]
  2. Verifiable with no original research:
    3. (a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;
    (b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose);[2]
    (c) it contains no original research; and
    (d) it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.
  3. Broad in its coverage:
    4. (a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic;[3] and
    (b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
  4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
  5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
    6. [4]
  6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
    7. [5]
    (a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content; and
    (b) media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.[6]

Review edit

  1. Well-written:
    2. Criteria Notes Result
    (a) (prose) Seems all good here.   Pass
    (b) (MoS) Seems all good here too.   Pass
  2. Verifiable with no original research:
    3. Criteria Notes Result
    (a) (references) I fixed up some links for the books to Google Books and hyperlinked the publishers from them too. Furthermore I added 4 accessdates using Checklinks   Pass
    (b) (citations to reliable sources) Removed a Daily Mail source where two other sources were already given.   Pass
    (c) (original research) The infobox appeared to be this at first, but I think WP:BLUE means that it doesn't matter.   Pass
    (d) (copyvio and plagiarism) Passed Earwig's Copyvio Detector.   Pass
  3. Broad in its coverage:
    4. Criteria Notes Result
    (a) (major aspects) Yep. This article address the history, creation, succession, post succession use of the flag.   Pass
    (b) (focused) The article doesn't go into unnecessary detail that would only interest a vexillophile.   Pass
  4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
    5. Notes Result
    All good here too.   Pass
  5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
    6. Notes Result
    Easy pass here. In fact it looks like this article has never had an edit war or content dispute.   Pass
  6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
    7. Criteria Notes Result
    (a) (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales) All good here.   Pass
    (b) (appropriate use with suitable captions) All good here too.   Pass

Result edit

Result Notes
  Pass A good article. You should be proud.

Discussion edit

Some rewriting may be able to reduce the article looking like it's source materials, as indicated by Earwig's Copyvio Detector. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 19:26, 30 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Additional notes edit

  1. ^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage or subpages of the guides listed, is not required for good articles.
  2. ^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
  3. ^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
  4. ^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of unconstructive editing should be placed on hold.
  5. ^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
  6. ^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
