Disambiguations: 1 found and fixed.[1] Jezhotwells (talk) 21:38, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Checking against GA criteria
edit- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
- The prose doesn't fully meet the "reasonably well written criteria:
- Phrases such as One of the first modern human bones of 35,000 years old were found in Russia, are ungrammatical.
- ... the population loss caused by plagues wasn't so severe as in the Western Europe... Wasn't?
- Assisted by the Russian Orthodox Church and Saint Sergius of Radonezh's spiritual revival, under the leadership of Prince Dmitri Donskoy of Moscow, the united army of Russian principalities inflicted a milestone defeat on the Mongol-Tatars in the Battle of Kulikovo in 1380. Clumsy and over-long.
- I would suggest a thorough copy-edit aiming for good plain English.
- The size is an obvious issue, please consider splitting off material into sub articles. I note that some attempts are still ongoing to address this.
- Suggest dramatically reducing the Culture section, as this should be well covered in the sub article.
- a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- There are still many un-cited statements, statistics, etc. which have been tagged. Although specifically noted on the talk page these have not been fully addressed. This alone is cause for immediate de-listing.
- Sources appear to be reliable.
- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- As noted above too much detail in the culture section.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- No immediately obvious bias.
- Fair representation without bias:
- It is stable.
- No edit wars, etc.:
- No evidence of edit warring, some dispute about what should and shouldn't be included.
- No edit wars, etc.:
- 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):
- Rather too may images, in my opinion. Images should be used to illustrate the text rather then as decoration.
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
- Overall:
- Pass/Fail:
- There is a lot to do here to bring this up to standard so I am going to de-list now. When the problems are fixed, please re-nominate at WP:GAN. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:07, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
