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

In order to uphold the quality of Good articles, all articles listed as Good articles are being reviewed against the GA criteria as part of the GA project quality task force. While all the hard work that has gone into this article is appreciated, unfortunately, as of October 16, 2008, this article fails to satisfy the criteria, as detailed below. For that reason, the article has been delisted from WP:GA. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at WP:GAN. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at WP:GAR.


 * The article is not stable, with charges of OR and POV being flung around on the talk page. Stability is required by criterion 5 of the good article criteria.


 * There are three dead links and one link to a blacklisted site.


 * There has been a request for citation in the Transport section since June 2007, another in Political co-operation within the islands since April 2008.


 * Several significant section are completely or almost completely without inline citations, notably Languages, Culture and Demography.


 * The sources used are still missing isbns, despite that having been tagged as necessary.


 * Given that the article's instability has resulted in its protection, it is clearly not possible for these issues to be addressed in the short term, even if that would otherwise have been possible.
