Good article nomination on hold
This article's Good Article nomination has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write. This is how the article, as of October 2, 2015, compares against the six good article criteria:


 * 1. Well written?: Wow this article has a good quality of writing style and presentation, terrible this practice still goes on to this day.


 * NOTE: Please respond, below all these GA review comments, and not interspersed throughout, thanks!
 * 2. Verifiable?: ❌. Please address the few cite needed tags I've placed in the article.
 * 3. Broad in coverage?: Most thorough, covers major aspects, from 1492 to the present day. No issues here.
 * 4. Neutral point of view?: Presented in a neutrally worded tone throughout, with matter of fact wording. No issues here.
 * 5. Stable? Upon inspection of article edit history and article talk page history, article is stable. No issues here.
 * 6. Images?: ❌, please see below:


 * File:Haitian Government.jpg = any chance to find a free-use licensed alternative? Image of one of the heads of government? Something like that?
 * File:Dessalines.jpg = please properly format this image at Wikimedia Commons using commons:Template:Information.

*NOTE: Please respond, below all these GA review comments, and not interspersed throughout, thanks! Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved. Within 7 days, the article should be reviewed again. If these issues are not addressed by then, the article may be failed without further notice. Thank you for your work so far. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 20:14, 2 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the review! Good catch on the images, I can't believe that slipped by me.  The Dessalines image doesn't have a source or date on the German WP where it was originally uploaded, and I didn't have any luck finding the info on the Internet. What do you think about using a currency note like  this? (I think the licensing on that will have to be fixed too).


 * As far as the government image, do you think just the one police badge image is enough for that section? I don't know if a photo of parliament is  necessary even if I could find one, since it's only mentioned in the one section.


 * I'm going to find those refs now, thanks again! delldot   &nabla;.  23:32, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay sounds good, keep me posted when you're ready for another evaluation. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 23:59, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay, I think I addressed everything. What do you think?  delldot   &nabla;.  04:16, 3 October 2015 (UTC)


 * File:Dessalines.jpg = I've tagged this as "no source" on Commons, since citing another Wikipedia is just circular and not a source. Since that image was removed from this article, this now passes as GA. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 14:07, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks again! Yeah, that makes sense for that image.   delldot   &nabla;.  21:35, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
