Well-Written

[edit]

1A

[edit]

This article uses British English, and since I'm American, I had a bit of trouble with words like emigration/immigration and per cent/percent.

1B

[edit]

Clears the lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation in the MoS easily.

Factually Accurate

[edit]

2A

[edit]

It contains a list of all the references.

2B

[edit]

There were surprisingly few references in the lead and 19th century politics section. Could you add more?

2C

[edit]

Along with no references, I saw some unsourced facts in the lead, which forces me to believe there is original research.

Broad in its Coverage

[edit]

3A

[edit]

This article addresses all of the points about Scotland in the modern era.

3B

[edit]

The article stays on it's main topic without going into trivial detail.

Neutral

[edit]

It clearly shows all of the sides of Scotland's modern history.

Stable

[edit]

No recent edit wars found.

Appropriately Illustrated

[edit]

6A

[edit]

I noticed that 5 of the pictures don't have a US public domain tag. I don't know much about pictures, so correct me if I'm wrong, but that means I can't accept it right now.

Alright, you got the plus here.

6B

[edit]

All pictures are suitable, and have reasonable captions.

Notes:

[edit]
  • I noticed that there weren't any references in the lead. Could you find some references for it?
  • "Scottish universities would admit women from 1892." Could you clear that statement up a bit more? Would they do it past 1892, or only 1892?
  • Why is art education capitalized in "Aberdeen born William Dyce (1806-1864), emerged as one of the most significant figures in Art Education in the United Kingdom."?

Final Verdict

[edit]

I have decided to put it on hold for a week, and if you are able to find some sources for the lead, I will pass it. buffbills7701 13:10, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is not normal to have sources in the lead, unless there is something controversial or a quotation (See WP:LEADCITE). It is all sourced in the main body. I will go fix the PD tags.--SabreBD (talk) 14:39, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The licences are now checked - they are all public domain or US.--SabreBD (talk) 14:59, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I know it may be a bit uncommon, it's just that so many facts there should be verified. If I can't find an example, I'll pass it. buffbills7701
Alright, you brought up a valid point. I'm going to make it a GA. buffbills7701
