[edit] Name
I created the redirect page Áedán of Dál Riata, but then it occurred to me that maybe that would be the better title for the actual article. Should I move it there? Everyking 08:14, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- All right, I see someone has decided to change it. Everyking 08:59, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- Now to fix the redirects. This wasn't an especially bad example (Fergus I of Dalriada is WP:OR), but you have to start somewhere. Angus McLellan (Talk) 09:04, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] GAC
I evaluated the article based on 7 criteria:
- Well-written: Neutral
- Factually accurate: Pass
- Broad: Pass
- Neutrally written: Pass
- Stable: Pass
- Well-referenced: Fail
- Images: Pass
This article has failed GAC. The referrences are all wrong- you can't just throw up some external links, then say in footnotes that the information is "somewhere" in that book. You need actual referrences, with the book title, author, and page number. I gave well-written a neutral because the entire article is not written in an encyclopedic manner, with unsupported OR masquearding as facts, saying that such a theory is more credible than others, for one example, without backing it up with anything. Also, while it's not a criteria for GAC, the fact that the nominator as well as someone else listed it as a GA class article in the Scotland and Biography templates before it was even nominated for such really makes me angry. You can declare it A class if you wish, as it's not well defined, but the article is not GA class until it passes GAC. Please fix the issues, and resubmit to GAC when it is ready. --PresN 22:37, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
As per changes, it is now sailing through with all greens. GA class it is! --PresN 19:21, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
