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

This article has been reviewed as part of WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed, listed below. I will check back in seven days. If these issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if you have any questions, and many thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this article thus far.


 * The Look and feel and Usage sections are completely uncited. Other sections such as Aims, History, and Major subprojects, are inadequately cited.


 * There is a request for citation dating back to February 2007.


 * The Releases section is a list that has been tagged as being in need of cleanup since July.


 * There are too many short sections, particularly in the latter half of the article.


 * The prose needs some attention: "For instance, the preferences section of the Panel were reduced from a dialog of six tabs to one with two tabs." "In August 1997, two projects were started in response to KDE. One being GNOME." "One being GNOME" is not a sentence.


 * "In August 1997, two projects were started in response to KDE. One being GNOME." What was the other?


 * "At the moment GNOME is being translated to over 100 languages." At the moment? When was that written?


 * The article gives me no idea at all about GNOME's architecture, or how applications are integrated within it.
