GA Reassessment

I will do the GA Reassessment of this article as part of the GA Sweeps project. H1nkles (talk) 16:54, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

I'll do a high level review now since the article is a fairly decent length.


 * The image in the lead's info box has a tag for deletion for possible copyright infringement and complexity of the image. This needs to be addressed.
 * Per the GA Criteria it is important to have images in the article. Except for the graphic in the lead and a flag in the History section there are no images.  Given the length of the article I think some free-use images can be found and added.
 * The Lead is too short for the article. An article of this length should have at least three paragraphs.  See WP:LEAD for requirements of a lead, basically it should summarize every point made in the article.
 * There are several dead links in the reference section. These include: 5, 10, 16, 40-45, 51, 53, 55, 57, 58, 59 and three of the links in the "other references" are dead.  My check links tool is a bit spotty so if these numbers aren't correct please let me know and I'll look a little more closely at it.
 * Be sure to put accessdates for any websites or google books used. Also formatting for refs 60, 62-66 are not correct, please use ref templates as done in the other refs.
 * I see quite a few one and two sentence paragraphs. Please either expand these stubs or combine them together for better flow and readability.
 * The referencing in the Independence sub-section is very sporadic and sparse. I see 4 in-line cites in the first four paragraphs and then nothing until two in the last paragraph of the section.  And those are in the middle of the para.  What about the rest of the section?
 * I added a template to the end of the New Economic Policy subsection.  The final three paragraphs (one of which is a one-sentence stub, see above) have no citation.

At this point there are quite of few issues with the article beyond the content. Once these issues are addressed I will go into the content of the article and assess the writing. I will put the article on hole for a week pending work. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me on my talk page. H1nkles (talk) 17:16, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Since no work has been done on this article within the hold period I will delist. H1nkles (talk) 16:33, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
