Talk:Architecture of the Song dynasty/GA1

GA Reassessment
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.''


 * GA review (see here for criteria)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * Prose could use some work, but am unsure if it's that bad. The articles does however violate MoS. Specifically it violates WP:Manual of Style & WP:LAYOUT as its unclear what are references and what are notations as specific references are listed as notations and books are listed below and seem to be almost "Further Reading".
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * added cn to stuff needing citations
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * City and Palace & Temples are missing info on how the Song period differed/improved those aspects. Maybe consider consolidating history into 1 section at the top. Also there is no info on the impact of the architecture on future periods.
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) In general:
 * 2) all text should have English translations so its clear what to English reader what sources are (Having Chinese is still fine). Several have Chinese, but no English.
 * 3) "See below" should be replaced with actual reason, such as for most of them "Image is within the public domain" or something like that.
 * 4) "Own work" as source is not saying what the source is. Is it a photograph, if so then it should say the source is a "photograph of X". "Own work" descibes what "author" is intended for.
 * 5) GFDL & CC-By-SA-2.5, etc. should be spelled out. Do not assume anyone reading will understand the alphabet soup of abreviations. In addition it should breifly explain what those image licenses make them free to a layperson.
 * 6) More specially issues are with (not being listed below does not mean the image is fine; every image needs improvement for copyright info):
 * 7) Bianjing city gate.JPG - Source (filenmae is not telling what the source is)
 * 8) 大梁门夜景.jpg; - Date for the former (if available)
 * 9) Pagoda Yunyan Ta.jpg - no source, consider using template
 * 10) Iron Pagoda d.JPG; Song Silang's Tomb Fresco, Northern Song Dynasty, Luoyang.jpg - source (url if fine to link to, but it should say what the original source is, ie pic from a book, etc)
 * 11) San Qing Dian.jpg - see "own work" above
 * 12) Zhaozhou Bridge.jpg - just has description - "Taken from English Wikipedia" is not a valid source
 * 13) Lu gou qiao.jpg - lacks almost everything, including the original source.
 * 14) Li Cheng Buddhist Temple in Moutain Detail.jpg - other than url, no real info
 * 15) Song-Imperial-Garden1.jpg - description only
 * 16) Song-Palace1.jpg - description only; linking to another image does not suffice
 * 17) Ma Lin 003.jpg - permission needs to be spelled out in the article; linking does not suffice
 * 18) Qingming Festival Detail 15.jpg & Qingming Festival 5.jpg - copyright info should not be linked inside permission field. It should be set aside seperatly and a text description is needed for that field.
 * 19) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * a lot of the issues are minor and could easily be addressed so i'm holding this. 陣 内 Jinnai 04:05, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * There has been some work on it so i can extend it. 陣 内 Jinnai 23:20, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * While their was some effort at first to address some of the citiation issues and other info, much of the info, including the WP:FAIR USE tags remain an issue. There has been no activity in some time and therefore since I don't expect any improvement soon I'm delisting this article.
