Checking against GA criteria

edit
GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose):   b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):  
    The lead does not suitably summarise the artcile, see WP:LEAD. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:01, 1 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
    The prose is good enough, but there are a number of single sentences and short paragraphs which should be concatenated.
Expanded the lead. Wasn't sure about citations of material which is cited later, so please let me know if I need to fix anything. Also changed some things around to combine sentences and paragraphs. Hopefully it's an improvement. --Cerebellum (talk) 04:36, 2 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
  1. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):  
    I believe that the sources are reliable enough and support the cited statements.
  2. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):   b (focused):  
    Yes
  3. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:  
    ''Another early highlight was 1984's "Snake-Eyes: The Origin" Parts I & II, published in issues #26-27. Says whom? Needs attribution.
    ''However, it eventually became one of the series' most enduring issues. needs a cite, otherwise it is a point of view.
Sources added. --Cerebellum (talk) 04:36, 2 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
  1. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:  
  2. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
    One image used with an appropriate FUR
  3. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  
    OK, on hold for seven days. Combine short stray sentences and paragraphs, cite the POV statements, and make the lead a concise summary of the article as per WP:LEAD. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:21, 1 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
    Fine, that looks good now, happy to pass as GA. Congratulations! Jezhotwells (talk) 15:28, 2 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
