Review section[edit]

This 2010 FA was noticed years ago of considerable deficiencies that persist. The original nominator has been inactive for ten years. There is uncited text, unvetted text (the article was promoted with less than 5,000 words of readable prose, but now has over 10,000), a very long lead, MOS cleanup needs (image sandwiching, poorly formatted or incomplete citations, all caps, bare URLs, missing publishers), Further reading needs attention, and considering the absence of a regular curator, the article probably needs a top-to-bottom review to reveal any other problems.

• Move to FARC, no engagement, issues unaddressed. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:12, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Move to FARC While less concerned with the uncited text, I am concerned that the article has doubled in size without vetting. If an editor is not willing to review the new information, then I think it might need to be delisted. The article also has an extensive "Further reading" section with sources that should either be used as inline citations or removed as cruft. Z1720 (talk) 03:27, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
