GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * A. Prose quality:
 * *Corrections made. Cla68 (talk) 06:37, 14 June 2011 (UTC) **Issue resolved --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 07:55, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
 * *Done. Cla68 (talk) 06:46, 14 June 2011 (UTC) **Issue resolved --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 23:02, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
 * A. References to sources:
 * B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
 * C. No original research:
 * *Done. I have had several articles pass FAC without having a citation at the end of every single sentence.  I think it's ok to have all the citations at the end of a paragraph. Cla68 (talk) 06:53, 14 June 2011 (UTC) **There are some sentences which others may challenge in the future. It maybe helpful to cite certain sentences which may be challenged with a request for citation. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 23:02, 14 June 2011 (UTC) I'm very reluctant to assist in contributing to the belief that articles should have citations at the end of every single sentence when, in my experience, putting them all at the end of the paragraph has worked fine. Cla68 (talk) 05:47, 15 June 2011 (UTC) *Although, not every sentence should be referenced, some people may ask for specific citations. Adding those citations now will stop those request in the future. For instance Where does it say that fortified wines with herbs and or roots were drunk in ancient Greece? What nation really did create wormood fortified wines first? Germany or Italy? How can one prove that? etc. Why is it that some sections have certain statements cited, and other sections have all the cites at the end of the paragraph? Why is it that the popularity of the beverage is so well cited when it comes to the royal court in Turin, but the popularity of the beverage in cocktails in the late 19th century only referenced until the end of the article? --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 17:14, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Is it broad in its coverage?
 * A. Major aspects:

 * No edit wars, etc:
 * 1) Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
 * A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

 * *I changed the image. I don't think there is room to add more images in the article if viewing it in a widescreen monitor. Cla68 (talk) 07:06, 14 June 2011 (UTC) **Issue appears to have been resolved.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 23:02, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass or Fail:

Please attempt to rectify them before this article passes my review. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 23:02, 14 June 2011 (UTC) Threaded results above. Cla68 (talk) 05:50, 15 June 2011 (UTC) * There are still a few short comings, IMHO. Please see above comments. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 17:14, 15 June 2011 (UTC) With lack of improvement regarding criteria 2A, and a statement by the nominator, I am closing this review.
