Checking against GA criteria[edit]

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
Hogg later became a lawyer and met Jane Williams, who had been a close friend of Percy Shelley's shortly before his death. Confusing, does this mean Hogg met Williams shortly before Shelley's death - or that Williams became a friend of Shelley's shortly before Shelley's death?

He found his work there incredibly boring. "incredibly is a weasel word here.

At the same time Shelley often sent him letters tempting him to leave York and come to visit Elizabeth in person. Hogg opted to send her a lengthy letter rather than attempting to meet her in person repetitious phrases, better to rewrite.

but in the Spring of 1811 spring should not be capitalised.

She then began reading novels with moral themes aloud to Shelley and him. Clumsy

That year Hogg wrote a picaresque novel, Memoirs of Prince Alexy Haimatoff. He published it anonymously with the claim that it had been translated from latin by a man named John Brown at Prince Himatoff's request. Haimatoff or Himatoff? Latin is generally capitalised.

In April 1814 Hogg travelled to Ireland in an attempt to them, There is a verb missing here.

This is not well written. Please get it copy-edited throughout.

The lead does not fully summarise the article, please see WP:LEAD.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
I assume good faith for the sources. It is rather pointless link book titles to questia or google when the book content cannot be read on-line.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Tagged and captioned
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
On hold for seven days for issues above to be addressed. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:39, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
OK, in view of the comment below, I will not be listing. Give me a shout when you have got this into better shape. The Backlog Elimination drive should mean shorter waiting times for a while. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:12, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I addressed the specific sentences you mentioned, but I think you should probably fail this one since I'm not likely to get this up to "well written" in a week. Qrsdogg (talk) 20:59, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
