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.
 * GA review (see here for criteria):

The article is well written, has good layout, NPOV and generally good references. The only major problem is that most of the links are dead. That's really a deal breaker as far as 2a is concerned. The references could also be formatted better; all books and journal articles should contain author, publisher, year, volume etc. If this is in place, then the links aren't necessarily that important. Also, the Romanian language tag should be placed later in the references, the way it is now it's hard to read. Lampman (talk) 08:02, 13 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I've given this article a lot of thought, and I decided it wouldn't be fair to delist it. It is true that a lot of the links have gone dead since the article's creation, but it is not a demand that all sources should be on-line. Since these sources are journal articles, they must be taken in good faith by anyone who doesn't have access to the hard copies. Some of the references could perhaps have been better formatted, with date, volume etc., but this is not enough to delist the article. I've tried to track down as many of the dead links as I could, and removed the rest. I've also reformatted the reference section using various cite-templates. The article will remain a GA.
