---|---|---|
1. Well-written: | ||
![]() |
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. | Needs some serious work, see detailed comments below. |
![]() |
1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. | No issues identified |
2. Verifiable with no original research: | ||
![]() |
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline. | Fine. |
![]() |
2b. 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). | Spot checks of citations show good compliance. |
![]() |
2c. it contains no original research. | A few unsupported statements have been identified in the below comments. |
![]() |
2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism. | None identified. |
3. Broad in its coverage: | ||
![]() |
3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic. | Sort of. It's currently UNDUEly focused on the responses, both diplomatic and political, to the point of virtually eclipsing the coverage of the shooting itself. |
![]() |
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style). | The response section is awful big and convoluted, and should be trimmed aggressively and/or spun out into a separate article. |
![]() |
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each. | Reasonably neutral, with some instances of unimportant promotional material which I've noted below |
![]() |
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. | Fine. |
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio: | ||
![]() |
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content. | File:VA Tech massacre aerial photo of referenced locations.jpg is a derivative work from the USGS maps, and I do not believe the combinations of licensing statements to be correct. File:Penn State 2007 Spring Game - VT section.jpg needs OTRS confirmation: "personal correspondence" is insufficient, as I understand it. |
![]() |
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions. | Fine, see comments below. |
![]() |
7. Overall assessment. | ON HOLD to address the identified issues. |
