GA Review

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
    In the Lāʻie section, "In 1915", it would be best if there was a comma placed after 1915. Same section, this sentence ---> "The December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor gave rise to another popular tale about the Laie Hawaii Temple in Mormon folklore", the start of the sentence might have to be re-written.

    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
    In the Architecture section, shouldn't "Book of Mormon" and "Second Book of Nephi", be italicized?

  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):
    Does Reference 19 cover all this ---> "Temples like the Laie Hawaii Temple are not used for regular Sunday worship, and there are specific entrance requirements. Unlike a Latter-day Saint chapel or meetinghouse, where anyone of any religion may enter, temples are considered sacred, holy places where the highest sacraments of the church take place. Only church members in good standing are allowed to enter a temple. Temples are considered "houses of the Lord" where church members participate in sacred ceremonies such as baptism for the dead and eternal marriage, a ritual in which couples and families are "sealed" for eternity"?

    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:
