Checking against GA criteria

edit

  In order to uphold the quality of Wikipedia:Good articles, all articles listed as Good articles are being reviewed against the GA criteria as part of the GA project quality task force. While all the hard work that has gone into this article is appreciated, unfortunately, as of July 18, 2009, this article fails to satisfy the criteria, as detailed below. For that reason, the article has been delisted from WP:GA. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at WP:GAN. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at WP:GAR.

    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):

    b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
    • Some images are uncaptioned.
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  


Hey - this discussion is of an appallingly low standard itself! Claim that long sections are unreferenced - whichsections? You don't tell us. "Quite a few personal websites"? List them, please, because i can't see ANY! Downgrading for good reason is fine, but this is just ridiculous.
