1. Well-written: | ||
![]() |
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. | |
![]() |
1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. | |
2. Verifiable with no original research: | ||
![]() |
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline. | |
![]() |
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose). | Per discussion below, it's properly cited |
![]() |
2c. it contains no original research. | |
![]() |
2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism. | |
3. Broad in its coverage: | ||
![]() |
3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic. | |
![]() |
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style). | |
![]() |
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each. | |
![]() |
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute. | I believe so. There hasn't been any edit warring and an active talk page is a good thing. There's been recent edits, but that's Wikipedia for you. |
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio: | ||
![]() |
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content. | |
![]() |
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions. | |
![]() |
7. Overall assessment. | This article was a delight to read. It's neither too technical, nor too bare bones. Its diverse applications without resorting to trivia/hat collecting makes this a win for me. I mentioned the inline reference as main thing to change and would gladly do it myself if need be. |
@ Shushugah: This does NOT use a deprecated style for referencing. It uses footnotes for referencing. The use of parenthetical author (year) short references in footnotes, pointing to more complete references in a later section, is not deprecated, neither is the use of parenthetical author (year) forms in the text of the article, as part of sentences of the article rather than as references. The only thing that was deprecated was extra-textual references formatted parenthetically in article text rather than in other ways. There used to be some of these in the article; I removed what was I believe the last one in preparing for this nomination, in Special:Diff/1059406410. The only remaining parenthetically-formatted reference, to Stormer 1897, occurs within another footnote, so is not covered by that deprecation. — David Eppstein ( talk) 22:18, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
