Result: The classic self-review. CMD (talk) 15:35, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As outlined at WT:GAN#Review needs looking at, there are significant issues with this article. The GA review lasted less than two hours. It did not check the sources as required by WP:GAN/I#R3, which might have picked up numerous issues of close paraphrasing/plagiarism. The article itself is riddled with grammar and spelling errors and poor prose; it also contains unnecessary details in many sections. It thus fails several of the GA criteria.

Pinging those who commented at WT:GAN: Thebiguglyalien, Chipmunkdavis, Chaotic Enby ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:54, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delist. Fails criteria 1a (many, many grammar errors), 1b (lead is way too short, also external links in body), 5 (very recent event, and the rescue operation is still current), and 6b (two galleries of dubious relevance). The long tables of individual donors also likely fail 1b (list incorporation) and 3b (unnecessary details). I can see a lot of other issues with the article (flag icons in prose, really?), but I am not sure whether those are actually GA requirements.

I've blocked the GAN nominator and reviewer, both as sockpuppets of Makks2010 based on behavioral evidence. DanCherek (talk) 15:02, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
