:I could probably round up a couple of editors to look at this article. It's exceptional work for such a short time. But you should put it up for GA first. That's the usual order of things, and GA has more active reviewers that can give you pointers on how to improve the article. -[[User:Duribald|Duribald]] ([[User talk:Duribald|talk]]) 11:36, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

:As Duribald mentions, GA comes before A-class. Now, even though I have commented and edited this topic, I'll mention one thing. The article has indeed come a long way in a short time; ''but'', it is in no way ready for a GA review. Stability alone would would cause the article to fail. That's not meant to offend ''any'' editor, but until the issues of: 1.) her birth date, 2.) Nationality British vs. Scottish, 3.)the [[WP:EL]] issues are resolved, the YouTube links - are all resolved, the article won't pass muster. This isn't to say that the article is bad, just to say that it does not meet the criteria of GA on the stability issue alone. ([[Wikipedia:Good article criteria]]). SunCreator, you've done some marvelous work with the Boyle article, but until the rapidity of editing dies down, it's going to be very difficult to get a good article assessment done on this.

Revision as of 14:06, 21 April 2009

Requesting review of article as has already attracted favourable attention and news coverage from The Washington Post. It would be good to encourage editors by showing what is possible on Wikipedia in a short time. Would like to review to A-Class. SunCreator (talk) 04:39, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I could probably round up a couple of editors to look at this article. It's exceptional work for such a short time. But you should put it up for GA first. That's the usual order of things, and GA has more active reviewers that can give you pointers on how to improve the article. -Duribald (talk) 11:36, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
