I will review this article. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 19:18, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Good article nomination on hold
This article's Good Article promotion has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write. This is how the article, as of June 15, 2013, compares against the six good article criteria:


 * 1. Well written?:


 * 1) NOTE: Please respond below this entire GA Review, and not interspersed throughout these points, thanks!
 * 2) I went through and did some minor edits for formatting, other than that, the writing quality is quite good. I suggest a peer review for the next step, with wide solicitation for input from previously uninvolved editors, and possible submission to WP:GOCE.
 * 2. Factually accurate?:


 * 1) Duly cited throughout to appropriate sources. Only one problem, noted below:
 * 2) There are several commented-out-portions-of-text. These have to go. They are uncited for the most part, unencyclopedic, and inappropriate in the text. Please either cite them and actually add them to the live main article body text, or remove them.
 * 3. Broad in coverage?: Quite broad in scope, covers major aspects.
 * 4. Neutral point of view?: Written in a neutral tone and matter-of-fact language style, NPOV structural presentation overall.
 * 5. Article stability? I inspected the article edit history. I also looked over the talk page and its history. I note some discussion on the talk page about "systematic bias", but I believe that all of these concerns were adequately replied to and sufficiently addressed in an appropriate manner. In any event, the discussion fortunately did not impact the article's edit history stability.
 * 6. Images?:

NOTE: Please respond below this entire GA Review, and not interspersed throughout these points, thanks! Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved. After 48 hours the article should be reviewed again. If these issues are not addressed within 7 days, the article may be failed without further notice. Thank you for your work so far.— &mdash; Cirt (talk) 03:31, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I've started to address this. As I may be traveling without good 'net connection for the next 2 weeks or so, I'd appreciate if we could consider a ~2-3 weeks hold for this. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:42, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
 * 2-3 weeks is a bit much, I'll be traveling myself during that time, but maybe within the next 2 weeks would be ideal. Really the above shouldn't be too much to handle quite easily. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 15:31, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
 * On the other hand, I'm in the midst of a bunch of other GA Reviews at the moment, so I'll keep this one simmering on the back burner and get back to it at the end of the other ones, or 2 weeks, whichever is later. Unless, of course, the above stuff is addressed sooner. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 15:35, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I believe all issues have been addressed. Thanks for the wait! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 15:08, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
 * There is still a commented-out-portion-of-text that would be better off as a sourced footnote. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 18:34, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Where? I don't see them... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 01:14, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

@Piotrus, still a commented out portion of text, Wyka notes contradictory dates in available sources, should instead be a sourced footnote. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 20:55, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
 * @User:Cirt - I went ahead and simply removed it; the sentence already states the very same fact ("Sources disagree") and is ref'ed to Wyka. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 22:18, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
 * @Piotrus, I'm traveling out of town at the moment in remote areas with limited Internet access, should be able to address above in a few days. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 16:41, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
 * That's fine, same here. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 15:46, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
