Good article nomination on hold[edit]

This article's Good Article nomination has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write. This is how the article, as of October 2, 2015, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Wow this article has a good quality of writing style and presentation, terrible this practice still goes on to this day.

NOTE: Please respond, below all these GA review comments, and not interspersed throughout, thanks!

2. Verifiable?:

Not done. Please address the few cite needed tags I've placed in the article.

3. Broad in coverage?: Most thorough, covers major aspects, from 1492 to the present day. No issues here.

4. Neutral point of view?: Presented in a neutrally worded tone throughout, with matter of fact wording. No issues here.

5. Stable? Upon inspection of article edit history and article talk page history, article is stable. No issues here.

6. Images?:

Not done, please see below:

File:Haitian Government.jpg = any chance to find a free-use licensed alternative? Image of one of the heads of government? Something like that?
File:Dessalines.jpg = please properly format this image at Wikimedia Commons using commons:Template:Information.

*NOTE: Please respond, below all these GA review comments, and not interspersed throughout, thanks!

Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved. Within 7 days, the article should be reviewed again. If these issues are not addressed by then, the article may be failed without further notice. Thank you for your work so far. — Cirt (talk) 20:14, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the review! Good catch on the images, I can't believe that slipped by me. The Dessalines image doesn't have a source or date on the German WP where it was originally uploaded, and I didn't have any luck finding the info on the Internet. What do you think about using a currency note like this? (I think the licensing on that will have to be fixed too).

As far as the government image, do you think just the one police badge image is enough for that section? I don't know if a photo of parliament is necessary even if I could find one, since it's only mentioned in the one section.

I'm going to find those refs now, thanks again! delldot ∇. 23:32, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay sounds good, keep me posted when you're ready for another evaluation. — Cirt (talk) 23:59, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I think I addressed everything. What do you think? delldot ∇. 04:16, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

File:Dessalines.jpg = I've tagged this as "no source" on Commons, since citing another Wikipedia is just circular and not a source. Since that image was removed from this article, this now passes as GA. — Cirt (talk) 14:07, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks again! Yeah, that makes sense for that image. delldot ∇. 21:35, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
