Let's see... according to the Wikipedia:Good article criteria, a Good Article should be
1) Well-written - I'm not fully familiar with all the intricacies of the MoS, and there are a few turns of phrase that differ from how I would have written it (e.g. Sengoku Era with a capital E instead of Sengoku period; "lordly (daimyo) family"), but I do not see any major grammatical or spelling mistakes, and for the most part, it reads in a smooth and natural manner.
2) Factually accurate and verifiable - I have not personally checked the references, but the article cites its sources well, including many in-line citations and numerous reliable sources. The only source used which I know to be a bit questionable is Papinot, and then only because of its age; having been written in the early 20th century, and translated from the French, the Papinot source does not reflect later developments in Japanese and romanization of Japanese, or changes in the views of the historian scholarly community. However, I trust Tadakuni to compensate for all of this, to reflect information as accurately as possible, and to not rely too heavily on Papinot.
In any case, this is far from a controversial subject, and there is no reason whatsoever to believe that there should be any political motive to deceive within the context of this subject.
3) Broad in its coverage - the article covers the history of the clan from its origins until the abolition of the samurai class and the clan with it. Covers several important figures and events without going into excessive detail.
4) Neutral - there is nothing to be biased about here - this is not a political or controversial subject. The article does not treat the clan, or any of its members, as heroes or villains, but treats the subject objectively.
5) Stable - the vast majority of edits have been made by the same editor, making steady and meaningful improvements. No edit wars or content disputes of any kind have occurred in the page's history.
6) Illustrations are relevant, the number sufficient.
I see no reason to not support the nomination of this article for Good Article status. Fantastic work. LordAmeth ( talk) 04:34, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Through a conversation on LordAmeth's talk page, I have agreed to give a second opinion on the article, as LordAmeth feels that he is too close to the subject to be completely unbiased towards it (as well as being a new GA reviewer). So, here are my comments:
Because of the list of things above, I have not done a complete review of the prose. Please address the comments above (you can either fix them and just say that they're done or reply as to why you think I'm completely wrong and out of my mind *grin*), and I will take a second run through to grab prose issues. If you have questions you can ask here or on my talk page. Dana boomer ( talk) 13:49, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
Not many comments this time around. The article looks almost ready for GA. As soon as these few minor things are fixed, I'll drop a note to the principle reviewer so that he can take a final look over the article and pass it to GA status. Let me know if you have any questions, and thank you for your hard work and prompt response. Dana boomer ( talk) 20:27, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
