References

[edit]

There are numerous references in this article that are not verifiable through the web. Michellecrisp (talk) 05:44, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, what? Rebecca (talk) 08:19, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Particularly a number of Sydney Morning Herald articles of the last 3 years. Normally these articles would be available on the web. Michellecrisp (talk) 13:43, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Um, no. The requirement is the articles be verifiable, not that someone who can't be bothered be able to access them in a click. This may include, y'know, going to your library and picking up a book, which generally makes for a good source. In this case, all of these articles can either be read with Factiva access, or down the road at your local library. I know that's a terrible amount of effort, but that's generally the way with writing an encyclopedia. Rebecca (talk) 10:13, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes and no. I didn't mean that every citation has to be web accessible on WP, but generally many SMH articles from last 5 years are on the web. Michellecrisp (talk) 10:57, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea. Either way, this has no bearing on the article's verifiability. Rebecca (talk) 23:25, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment

[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Steven Pringle/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Just some notes on my "B" class rating as the page history shows some differing opinions. The article is not at "A" class yet as(at the least):
  • it's missing any images
  • It's a biography article with little biographical information. Nothing about his life before university, date or place or birth
  • article does not have a lead per WP:LEAD
  • the parliment section focuses too little on his actions there and hence too much on the preselection battle.
  • Nothing about what he achieved in 16 years as a local councillor.
None of these detract from what is an interesting and well written article though - Peripitus (Talk) 05:04, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
