Against Criteria

A) Prose is fine. Ham tech person 13:05, 17 April 2010 (UTC) reply

B) Well compliant with MoS guidelines Ham tech person 13:05, 17 April 2010 (UTC) reply

2. Failed 2B

A) Includes a references section. Pass Ham tech person 13:05, 17 April 2010 (UTC) reply

B) Please source the statistics in the intro. all statistics must be sourced. Thus FAIL Ham tech person 03:07, 17 April 2010 (UTC) reply

Actually, lead material doesn't have to be sourced as per WP:LEAD ^[1]; all meaningful information is already sourced in the main article. – Juliancolton |  ^Talk 02:14, 19 April 2010 (UTC) reply

Actually, per WP:GA?, all statistics must be sourced. ^[2] Also, statistics can be challenged, and WP:LEAD says that material that is likely to be challenged should be sourced. It also does not state that the may not be citations in the lead. ^[1] Ham tech person 14:34, 19 April 2010 (UTC) reply

Yes, and indeed all statistics are sourced. Lead sourcing is optional. – Juliancolton |  ^Talk 17:08, 19 April 2010 (UTC) reply

I'll call for a second opinion. Ham tech person 21:18, 19 April 2010 (UTC) reply

SECOND OPINION: In my opinion, Julian is correct. As long as the statistics are cited in the body, there's no need to repeat them in the lead per WP:LEAD. I'd recommend passing this article for GA, but I'll leave the final decision to you. – Grondemar 21:34, 21 April 2010 (UTC) reply

Third Opinion

I'd also advise passing this. Information in the lead does not need references, as long it is cited later on in the article. See these featured articles with uncited statistics in their leads:

• Tropical Storm Kiko (2007)
• Hurricane Kiko (1989)
• Hurricane Danny (1997)

There are many others. I'd say if featured articles can get away with it, good articles definitely can. Torchiest ( talk | contribs) 01:11, 22 April 2010 (UTC) reply
