GA REVIEW (SECOND REVIEW) - Pass

edit

 

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


Excellent article, one of the finest. Featured status around the corner?

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:  
    Well-written in an elegant, but neutral encyclopedic tone.
    B. MoS compliance:  
    MoS compliant.
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:  
    A wide variety of reliable, third-party sources. BBC. The Guardian. The Independent. The Daily Mail. The London Evening Standard. IMDB.
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:  
    Well-cited throughout.
    C. No original research:  
    None that I see. Article carefully patrolled by those looking for WP:OR and other uncited material.
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:  
    Broad without being overly detailed. Covers Smith's early life, early career with concise depth, excellent use of quotes from earlier career as illustration. Focused, non-speculatory coverage of his recent Time Lord-related fame.
    B. Focused:  
    Narrowly focused on Smith, extraneous material is not apparent, and addition of any promptly removed.
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:  
    Neutral tone at all times.
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:  
    Stable. Incremental improvements always welcome. Will, I hope, be continually updated as more information about his career comes out. Some irrelevant and unsourced material reverted, minor vandalism; nothing to cause a failure.
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:  
    Nice picture of Smith. It's a LITTLE large. License is in order.
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:  
    Infobox pic, again, a bit big. :)
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:  
    As stated above, excellent article. It seems the concerns of the first GA reviewer have been well-addressed. A lot of hard work has gone into making this article shine above the rest, and it really does show. I might suggest reaching for featured status soon.
