GA Review

GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose):
    "The ideas gained vast popular audiences" - Unclear, referring to the objections or to the evolutionary ideas?
    The quotes of Kitcher are a bit long, perhaps some of these could be summarised?
    b (MoS):
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):
    Reference needed for "Although most of Darwin's contemporaries came to accept the transmutation of species based upon fossil evidence"
    b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):
    The relationship between Evolution and the Roman Catholic Church is lacking, would make a good comparison to the relationship with Protestantism in the history section.
    b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
    More of the arguments should be attributed to specific people and sources. eg instead of "It is frequently argued that a great weakness of evolutionary theory is that it does not, or cannot, explain a certain aspect of the natural world." attribute this argument to a prominent advocate - "Creationists such as John Doe and Jean Doe argue that a great weakness of evolutionary theory is that it does not, or cannot, explain a certain aspect of the natural world."
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars etc.:
  6. 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):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
