Irish Houses of Parliament[edit]

Review commentary[edit]

Messages left at User talk:Jtdirl and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ireland‎

The number of unreviewed FAs with zero inline citations is now down to about ten. Here is one from early '04. (Looking at the FAC I can't tell who originally nommed.) Along with the obvious 1c issue, I was hoping someone who understands the image rules could go through this as it has a great many pics. The ToC headlines need to be shortened and made less conversational. Marskell (talk) 14:54, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with everything said above by Marskell (talk · contribs), another good FAR candidate - this article is not up to WP:GA or WP:FA standards. Cirt (talk) 17:32, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See above list of images currently used in this article. Cirt (talk) 17:38, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All images not already on Commons have been moved except #1 & #10. ww2censor (talk) 04:31, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree that this article has some major flaws, especially with the aesthetics of the images. There are also only two references (though not cited) on the topic). I also feel that this page should also cover some of the history that happened within its walls, and not just the walls themselves. A rough example of this can be found here.

Thanks for the image work guys. And yes, I had had the same thought Ottava: should this solely be an architecture page or should it also cover history? Marskell (talk) 09:02, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I dont see this as an issue, as long as the orginisation is correct. Anyway they are intertwined.
Articles on paintings are able to cover provenance/style/influences/influence, and all are all closely related, and I don't see a difference here. Ceoil sláinte 00:17, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FARC commentary[edit]

Suggested FA criteria concerns are referencing (1c) and images (3). Marskell (talk) 15:14, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Remove 1c. Note that the "modern view" section also reads like a pundit's voice, rather than telling us who thinks what and why, it seems like wikipedia's POV/verdict. YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 07:26, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Remove - Agree with YellowMonkey (talk · contribs), and per my comments above. Cirt (talk) 07:46, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Remove - I have to agree. ww2censor (talk) 15:28, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Remove 1c. Ceoil sláinte 21:15, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Remove per 1c. Complete lack of inline citations for references means that this article does not pass today's FA criteria. JEdgarFreeman (talk) 12:46, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
