GA tips

Hi Oh-Fortuna!,

I saw this article on the list of open GAN requests. While I cannot take it on, I do have two quick tips:

  • Criterion 2b requires that all material be supported by inline citations no later than the end of the paragraph. The presence of paragraphs that do not end with a citation can be grounds for a quick-fail.
  • There is probably room for improvement to the lead. It might be worth reviewing WP:LEAD and thinking it over a little bit. (Oh, and as you'll see in the documentation, the lead is one of the few exceptions to normal citation requirements: the body itself is the source.)

@Patrick Welsh, what a lovely note, thank you. At your suggestion I read WP:LEAD carefully and made some good changes. I'll keep working on the citations this evening. Your comment is so heartening... Oh-Fortuna! (talk) 00:13, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be happy to review this article!

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
    B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
    C. It contains no original research:
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:


Pointers

-In the lead paragraph, using the word controversial should be avoided. Have a look at MOS:CONTROVERSIAL
-Agreed and done. I learned something.
-For neutrality, you can change extreme fasting to "prolonged fasting."
-Good catch.
For better flow, you can write (Irish and French origins) to "who were of Irish and French descent."
-Done.

@Chilicave, my responses are under your pointers. Oh-Fortuna! (talk) 03:54, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
