[edit] GA Review

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written:

   Not Yet

   1. The Introduction needs to be expanded so that it is a few paragraphs and gives a brief overview of the article.
   2. Many editors frown on two line paragraphs. So if possible could you merge them.
   3. For the section names it would be good if they are less verbose. For example, the 'Prelude to the Battle' should become 'Prelude' and the 'FIghting' the 'Battle'.
2. It is factually accurate and verifiable:

   Pass. The article seems accurate and is verified by plenty of sources.

3. It is broad in its coverage:

   Pass. The article has a seemingly broad covered and has a strong background and aftermath sections. The only problem I have here is that the quotes should have ciations straight after them.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy:

   'Pass. The article following WP:NPOV.

5. It is stable:

   Pass. Yes, the article is stable.

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate:

   Pass. I can't see why not. It has an image in the infobox as well as the conflicting nations coat of arms, though additional images would be useful.

7. Overall:

   On hold. Overall, the article is good has no problems except for the above issues in the well written section. If these issues are address, I will have no problems in passing the article. Goodluck. Kyriakos (talk) 21:33, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
