1(c) - currently no inline citations. It could be accurate but harder to verify and inline citations are now part of criteria. (Background:It was promoted 4 years ago and has not been reviewed since.) Tom B (talk) 13:42, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, I wrote it, and you're right that it isn't in the current Wikipedia style. I honestly don't really care that it doesn't have footnotes - it cites its sources very carefully, even if it's not to page numbers. Having those numbers would probably not make a lick of difference to your ability to 'verify' the accuracy of the article since you presumably don't understand Icelandic to begin with.
- Anyway, I'm fine with the article being demoted - I've learned a lot since I wrote it and I now think it's deficient in several ways (Wikipedia citation style being the least of these concerns). Haukur (talk) 15:31, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
FARC commentary[edit]
- Suggested FA criteria concern are citations and unspecified deficiencies not elaborated on by the author. Also note the recent change to WP:WIAFA (1c) requiring "high-quality" sources. YellowMonkey (cricket calendar poll!) 05:15, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
