Hi, and thanks for nominating this page for GA status. I'm sorry you've had to wait so long for a review, and I look forward to reviewing this interesting and well-written article. I'll review this article against the six GA criteria and would love to hear from you during the review. I'll take a quick read of the article and let you know about any major issues. Once they're addressed, I'll do a more thorough review and check of the sources, and then complete the review. --Tom (LT) (talk) 12:32, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

At the moment, the main issue I can see is verifiability - there seems to be a lack of references in the "Description of canal" and "Construction" sections. --Tom (LT) (talk) 12:49, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

I would also suggest rewording "Description of Canal" to "Description of planned canal" to highlight it hasn't actually been built yet. --Tom (LT) (talk) 12:49, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

It's clear you've put a lot of work into this article. I await your response and will continue the review after some citations have been provided. --Tom (LT) (talk) 12:51, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Conclusion
No response in 2 weeks - am closing this review. --Tom (LT) (talk) 12:20, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

I am marking this review as failed, for the following reasons:
 * Lacks sources in a large number of areas, making it difficult to verify
 * Lacks coverage of previous plans, impacting on broadness
 * I do not feel the text conveys clearly enough that the canal hasn't actually been constructed yet, impacting on clarity

I hope the editors of this article don't take this badly. With a bit of work it can definitely make it to GA, however it's not ready just yet. --Tom (LT) (talk) 12:20, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
