GA Review
This review is transcluded from Talk:University of Nottingham/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

I've reviewed the article as a candidate for a good article, and have placed the nomination on hold for a period of one week. After a review of this article, I have the following comments:
 * 1) This article is well written, and meets the GA requirements for prose, style and wiki-links. I've made a few changes when appropriate.
 * 2) This article may need more citations in order to be a GA. Examples of areas laking appropriate citations:
 * In the "Campuses" section, the Jubilee Campus is described as "award-winning." What award has it won? Was the award notable enough to call the campus "award-winning?" Remember to always write from a neutral point of view.
 * In the second paragraph of the "Research" section opens with "Nottingham is also commendable in the humanities and social sciences." Who is commending the university? Does this statement belong under research?
 * In the "Enrollment and student life" section, the student enrollment is described as "more than 6,000." In the infobox, the enrollment is 33,550. Which is correct? What is your source?
 * No citations appear anywhere in the sub-section of "Controversies" describing the academic boycott. References are needed or this section must be removed in order to be a good article.
 * I noticed some earlier debate about the inclusion of "Campus 14." Ask, will the inclusion of this information seem approprate in 20 years?
 * 1) Some sections need expanding. For example:
 * Academic Faculties states there are "22 schools of study," yet only two are listed.
 * The "Student accommodation" sub-section of "Enrollment and student life" is only one sentence. Surely this can be expanded into a paragraph with one or two appropriate sources.
 * 1) Overall, the article is stable and well-illustrated.

If the concerns are not addressed within the next week, this article's good article nomination may not pass. Thank you for working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of education. Farside6 (talk) 23:11, 17 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Re Campus14 - we aren't writing an article for 20 years time, we're writing it for now. I personally have no doubt that as long as there are 13 bars on the campus, people will try and drink in all of them in a single night. -mattbuck (Talk) 23:34, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
