GA Review template

This is how the article, as of February 15, 2009, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: (Pending)

• Why an asterisk in "*sehwan"?
• This is awkward: "...the open drinking between..."
• Does anyone know the correct pronunciation of "Sága" and "Sökkvabekkr"? If so, it would be helpful to include the English IPA renderings (see it used, for example, in Nephi).

2. Factually accurate?: Pass

3. Broad in coverage?: Pass

4. Neutral point of view?: Pass

5. Article stability? Pass

6. Images?: (Pending)

• Are all three images necessary in this article? WP:IMAGES says that "articles that use more than one image should present a variety of material near relevant text. Three uniformed portraits would be redundant for a biography of a famous general."
• Per WP:CAP, the captions for the images should probably expanded a little bit. Captions should establish the picture's relevance to the article and provide context for the picture.

I'll put this on hold for seven days, so that the above issues can be resolved. Best regards
