Hi there, I am afraid that this article has quickfailed GA due to severely substandard referencing as per 2(b) of
Wikipedia:good article criteria (as noted by the editor above). I suggest that the article be referenced by at least three different reliable and reputable sources on this subject and that a reference be provided at least once every paragraph, in addition to those for any controversial statements and for any direct quotes and statistics. Without referencing to this standard, the article will never pass GA. Please see the list below for other problems.--

Sources are so inadequate it is difficult to tell.

It contains

a (tagged and captioned): b (lack of images does not in itself exclude GA): c (non-free images have
fair use rationales):
Overall:
a Pass/Fail:
Thankyou and I am sorry the review was not more positive, if you disagree with my assesment then you are more than welcome to take the article to
WP:GAR. I hope you have better luck next time, all the best.--
