GA Hold Review (2nd time)

It looks like the original reviewer has abandoned this article. I have extended the hold, and am taking over the review since they never put a hold notice on WP:GAC. Based on criteria at WP:WIAGA, the article is fairly well written, broad, NPOV, and uses images appropriately. It would seem that the referencing of the article needs improvement, specifically in areas where numbers or data are quoted, or other assertions of fact are made. Some examples of where this needs fixing:

• Section titled Symbol is entirely unreferenced.
• Section titled Physical characteristics makes the following unreferenced subsections:
  • Appearance
  • Mass and size
  • Orbit
• Subsection of Moons titled Charon is unreferenced.
• Commemoration as a planet section is unreferenced.
• New discoveries ignite debate is unreferenced.
• There are other parts that may be unreferenced. Check over these to see that I haven't missed any.

Also, the format of references is inconsistant. Some refs are simply URL links. Minimum bibliographical information is missing from some references. Ideally, each reference should contain:

• Author's name (if availible)
• Title of article
• Title of larger work (if applicable)
• Publication information
• Date of access for websites.

If you would like, you may use templates found at WP:CITET to organize your reference information. It isn't required, but I have found them helpful. More information on citing sources can be found at WP:ATT and WP:CITE

As a whole, given the level of activity this article recieves, I am certain these fixes can be made in the next week. A hold will stay for 7 days. If the required changes are not made within 7 days, I will have to fail the nomination. If you have any questions, or would like me to review the article once the changes have been made, see me on my talk page. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 04:05, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

This article is very well written and well referenced. The above issues have been addressed, and I am happy to promote this to GA status. Dr. Cash 22:28, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Just FYI, I did put it on hold, I just removed it when my original concerns were met with the note that I didn't have time to finish the review in as detailed a fashion as I wanted to. Sorry for any confusion. IvoShandor 14:35, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
