GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   B. MoS compliance:

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   C. No original research:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   B. Focused:

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

1:

• Article does not contain a lead section (or, conversely, has too large a lead section) or the Wikipedia-standard hierarchical structure. Article needs to be organized into appropriately titled sections. See WP:LAYOUT and content suggestions below.
• Infobox should contain an image,
• Peacock and weasel words, e.g. “whimsical”, “some of the individual pieces”, etc.
• In-line citations should come after closest succeeding punctuation mark.
• Grammar issues including, among others, inappropriate use of commas, e.g. “in various situations, and additional abstract”, incomplete sentences, not starting a sentence with a capital letter, not using commas to offset certain clauses, etc.

3:

• At a minimum, background should be provided on the Arts for Transit Program, 14th Street–Eighth Avenue New York City Subway station and Tom Otterness.
• Article content is largely symbolism and media reaction; expansion is needed in other areas present. Additionally, at a minimum, article should discuss how Otterness was chosen (we aren’t even told the year of its commission), his inspiration for the work as a whole (inspiration for money bags is discussed), creation process, reaction of general public and phase-out (if existent). (The quote “one of the most popular artworks in the subway system” is not sufficient public sentiment; we do not know about “competing” subway artwork; it would easily be the most popular if the only other art is advertisements.)
• Superfluous information, e.g. NYT “2003 account” contributes nothing to the article.

4:

• Article does not adequately discuss criticism. Description of the work as "too cute" seems to be a backhanded compliment. Is anyone bothered that funding was diverted for this? Does anyone think it’s ugly or intrusive (article implies ca. 100 pieces are present in one station)?
• Article’s treatment of the subject is approbatory. A neutral tone/quote selection is required.

General:

• Article content is minimal, disorganized and of questionable neutrality. Significant work is required. Please let me know if elaboration or assistance is needed. Ɛƚƈơƅƅơƚɑ _talk 01:35, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
