Vincent van Gogh[edit]

Last core article that has an A-class rating that has not been reviewed. Failed a FAC recently. Er rab ee 18:20, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support. This article does need a bit of copy editing, and there is at least one "cite needed" tag which needs to be addressed, but it seems very thorough and well-researched. -- Ssilvers 03:59, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The article has excellent information and great illustrations, but I'm not sure it's only one step below FA-class for the following reasons:

Some good, solid copy editing is needed.
Many significant facts, including some that might be debated or considered POV, are not cited.
Several of the references lack full bibliographic information (publisher, place & year of publication, ISBN).
Several of the citations don't have accompanying bibliograpic references, so it would be difficult, if not impossible, to track down the source involved, if a reader wanted to.

With all this in mind, I would tend to wait until these issues are more fully addressed before promoting to A-class. Jancarhart 20:26, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - I could grant A-Class to an article with some of the problems indicated above, but not with all those listed. John Carter 15:57, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Agree with Jancarhart and John Carter. Er rab ee 13:09, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
