GA Reassessment

I will be doing the GA Reassessment on this article as part of the GA Sweeps project. H1nkles (talk) 18:20, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

I have some concerns with this article as follows:

• In the history section the 1970's and the first half of the 1980's sub sections are very sparsely referenced. The block quote isn't referenced and I see three in-line citations for roughly 10 paragraphs of information. That is not enough.
• The Franchises section has one in-line citation, there is a lot of information here that should be cited better.
• The Logos section is totally unreferenced.
• Refs 2, 10, and 29 are dead links that will need to be repaired. External link from the Canadian Jewish News is also a dead link that will need to be removed or fixed.
• All of the images are copyrighted. Per WP:NFC it is necessary to use Free images, images that are copyrighted are not considered free use. I recognize that there are Fair Use rationales on all the images but that does not mean we are off the hook. We must strive to use free images wherever possible and only use non-free images if nothing else is available and then sparingly. The article is liberally sprinkled with copyrighted images. The GA Criteria wants images so it is appropriate to have images but editors should use copyrighted images only when necessary. Personally I don't think this many images are necessary. Certainly the logo at the beginning and one, perhaps two other images are sufficient for GA. The rest should be removed regardless of Fair Use rationale. I welcome discussion and dissenting opinions on this matter.
• There are several red links that should either be delinked or articles should be made for them.

These concerns are sufficient for me to hold the article for work to be done. If no work is undertaken in the next week the article will be delisted from GA status. H1nkles (talk) 18:54, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

My concerns have not been addressed and as such I will delist the article from GA because it does not meet the GA Criteria in regards to Images and references. H1nkles (talk) 16:12, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
