Anstruther Fish Bar was a good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article.

[edit] Neighbours?

Did I not read somewhere that the businesses adjacent to the fish bar were annoyed at the long queues that snaked from it on the weekend, hampering access to their premises? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.45.132.96 (talk) 13:48, 12 February 2007 (UTC).

This article looks like an advert. --Nicholas 14:33, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I disagree. It has a long history and is well known enough than a simply chip shop.

[edit] GA failed

I have failed this article according to the GA criteria. Although the article has no grammar or POV issues, it fails the broad requirement. The article is equivalent to a start at best and needs more expansion to qualify for GA. Consider getting a peer review for some people to suggest what other sections could be added or expanded upon. One section that could be added is History: when was it built, type of architecture, etc. It would also benefit on more inline citations for information that may be questionable to the reader. It's great that you have a free image for the article, but maybe see if you can also get one of the interior of the restaurant as well. This isn't a requirement, but would help to enhance the article. Once the article is expanded further to meet the broad requirement, and has addressed the rest of the criteria, please consider renominating again. If you think that this review is in error, see Wikipedia:Good article review. Let me know on my talk page if you have any questions. --Nehrams2020 04:20, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Pictures might theoretically be possible - although I'd have to take them personally, and explain to the owners why. I'm not up for that. The rest of the requirement, well, in theory that's great, in practice, no reliable sources exist. So, I guess either the GA requirements suck, or the implicit intention is that certain articles, even when the best they can be, intrinsically are unfitting for GA. Oh well.--Doc^g 07:16, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
