GA Sweeps: On Hold
As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing Sweeps to determine if the article should remain a Good article. I believe the article currently meets the majority of the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. However, in reviewing the article, I have found there are multiple issues that need to be addressed. I have already made minor corrections to the article, but have included issues below that I believe need to be addressed for the article to remain a GA.


 * 1) This article has been tagged to merge since January 2008. Either remove the tag or include some related WikiProjects/interested editors in finalizing the discussion.
 * 2) Obviously the main issue is the number of citation needed tags as well as the improper synthesis and original research tags. These all need to be addressed for the article to meet the GA criteria. There are obviously a lot of them but some sources can likely be found at similar articles.
 * 3) In addition, the "Other planets and solar system entities" and "Paraterraforming" sections are completely unsourced.

Normally I would delist this immediately, but due to the incomplete prior GAR and the recent restarted efforts to improve the article, I'll leave it on hold for one week. There are other issues with the article but I would like to see the above issues addressed first before moving on to what else needs to be fixed. This is an interesting topic and it would be great for this article to remain as a good article. If progress is being made, I may extend the hold, and if little or no progress is made, the article may be delisted. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 18:06, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh dear. I am clearing away the debris from the poor, sad article, in hopes of planting fresh new garden of knowledge. I do anticipate that it will take a couple weeks to complete, at the very least. I have already resolved several issues – did you see them? – including removing three or four of those horrid little cleanup templates. I resolved the issues regarding the merge requests. I also found the locus classicus of the paraterraforming literature and cited that, so now that section is no longer completely bereft of context. I do intend to add more citations. I hope to rewrite that section. Now you can surely see why I suppose this will take a few weeks. Water.writ (talk) 06:42, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I have no problems holding this article for several weeks if the issues will be addressed. If there are other editors that watch this article or related WikiProjects that can help, I'm sure the workload could be split up. I'll revisit the article in a week to see how things are coming along. Keep up the good work, I'd like to see this article remain a GA. --Happy editing!

 * One week later, the first point has been addressed and some sources have been added. I am going to leave this article on hold for another week. Continue with the progress, and I'll revisit in another week. Try and get to the tags and unsourced statements, as other areas can be worked on afterwards. --Happy editing!

GA Sweeps: Delisted
Per a notice on my talk page, it appears that the main issues will not be able to be addressed in the coming weeks. As a result I have delisted the article as it still has a way to go before meeting the GA criteria. Continue to improve the article, addressing the issues above. The article can then be renominated at WP:GAN. If you disagree with this review, a community consensus can be reached at WP:GAR. Like I said, this is an interesting topic, and I'd like to see it return to GA and hopefully FA at some point. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 17:29, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
