Checking against GA criteria

 * GA review (see here for criteria)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * Hogg later became a lawyer and met Jane Williams, who had been a close friend of Percy Shelley's shortly before his death. Confusing, does this mean Hogg met Williams shortly before Shelley's death - or that Williams became a friend of Shelley's shortly before Shelley's death?
 * He found his work there incredibly boring. "incredibly is a weasel word here.
 *  At the same time Shelley often sent him letters tempting him to leave York and come to visit Elizabeth in person. Hogg opted to send her a lengthy letter rather than attempting to meet her in person repetitious phrases, better to rewrite.
 *  but in the Spring of 1811 spring should not be capitalised.
 * She then began reading novels with moral themes aloud to Shelley and him. Clumsy
 * That year Hogg wrote a picaresque novel, Memoirs of Prince Alexy Haimatoff. He published it anonymously with the claim that it had been translated from latin by a man named John Brown at Prince Himatoff's request.  Haimatoff or Himatoff? Latin is generally capitalised.
 * In April 1814 Hogg travelled to Ireland in an attempt to them,  There is a verb missing here.
 * This is not well written. Please get it copy-edited throughout.
 * The lead does not fully summarise the article, please see WP:LEAD.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * I assume good faith for the sources. It is rather pointless link book titles to questia or google when the book content cannot be read on-line.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * Tagged and captioned
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * On hold for seven days for issues above to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:39, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, in view of the comment below, I will not be listing. Give me a shout when you have got this into better shape. The Backlog Elimination drive should mean shorter waiting times for a while. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:12, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

 * I addressed the specific sentences you mentioned, but I think you should probably fail this one since I'm not likely to get this up to "well written" in a week. Qrsdogg (talk) 20:59, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
