I shall be reviewing this page against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:38, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Quick fail criteria assessment

1. The article completely lacks reliable sources – see Wikipedia:Verifiability.

   • 

2. The topic is treated in an obviously non-neutral way – see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view.

   • 

3. There are cleanup banners that are obviously still valid, including cleanup, wikify, NPOV, unreferenced or large numbers of fact, clarifyme, or similar tags.

   • 

4. The article is or has been the subject of ongoing or recent, unresolved edit wars.

   • 

5. The article specifically concerns a rapidly unfolding current event with a definite endpoint.

   • 

No problems found when checking against quick fail criteria, moving on to substantive review. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:48, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Checking against GA criteria

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose):

   b (MoS):

   • The Wikilinks on the author names in the references do not link to the cited works, but rather to the article as a whole so they should be removed. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:55, 19 July 2009 (UTC)  Done

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references):

   • ref #49 [1] is dead; otherwise the article is well referenced.  Done

   b (citations to reliable sources):

   • References check out.

   c (OR):

   • I find no evidence of this. Jezhotwells (talk) 23:05, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

3. It is broad in its scope.

   a (major aspects):

   b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   • The article achieves a NPOV. Jezhotwells (talk) 23:05, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

   • Minor vandalism only. Jezhotwells (talk) 23:05, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

6. 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):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   • The Wikilinks on authors' names in the references and one dead link. Fix those and we will have a good article. on hold for seven days. Jezhotwells (talk) 23:05, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

   OK those problems have now been fixed. I am happy to pass this as a good article. Congratulations upon a well written and researched article on a little known episode in Balkan history. Jezhotwells (talk) 23:48, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
