GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

---

This article is B-class, and close to Good Article status, but it needs a bit more work before it becomes a Good Article.

1. Is it well written?

   A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

   Some copy editing needed to meet GA criteria. For example, from the lead paragraph:

   "... began writing it in the summer of 1975 and were influenced by Eastern music, mythology, and travels." ==> "travels" needs explication, e.g., "their travels, especially time spent in Morocco."

   "... and one of their most complex, with different interwoven sections and multiple overdubbed guitar parts." ==> "different interwoven sections" could be improved by describing different sections that are interwoven. The goal would be to give the reader an aural or visual "picture" of this aspect of the song. I don't possess enough knowledge on this point to offer an example.

   B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:

2. Is it verifiable with no original research?

   A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:

   B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:

   C. It contains no original research:

   D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

   B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):

4. Is it neutral?

   It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:

5. Is it stable?

   It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:

6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?

   A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:

   Photographs or other images needed.

   B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

   No images yet. (But see suggestions, below.)

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   This article is close to GA status. I recommend that interested Wikipedians (1) request copy editing by the Guild of Copy Editors or recruit a particularly skilled writer or two to fine-tune the prose; and (2) add some images, e.g., of Achilles; Jimmy Page or Page and Plant during the band's 1977 tour or subsequent performances.   - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) (I am a man.
