GA Reassessment

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch

To uphold the quality of Wikipedia:Good articles, all articles listed as Good articles are being reviewed against the GA criteria as part of the GA project quality task force. While all the hard work that has gone into this article is appreciated, unfortunately, as of February 17, 2010, this article fails to satisfy the criteria, as detailed below. For that reason, the article has been delisted from WP:GA. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at WP:GAN. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at WP:GAR.

Prose
  • The prose is in places rather poor, and the whole article needs tidying up in that respect. A few examples:
    • "Telephone-switching networks of electromechanical relays (invented 1835) was behind the work of George Stibitz (1937)...".
Formal versus empirical
  • This section has been flagged as in need of Expansion since last September, and is uncited.
  • "For instance an algorithm that has no locality of reference may have much poorer performance than predicted because it 'thrashes the cache'". Is "thrashes the cache" a quotation> If so it needs to be attributed. If not, then why the scare quotes?
