GA concerns

[edit]

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:

  • At over 13,000 words, WP:TOOBIG suggests that some of the text should be reduced or spun out.
  • One of the reasons why it is large is the numerous large block quotes used in the article. I think these should be summarised, reduced, and/or removed.
  • The end of "Historical reputation" has a lot of random facts and quotes. I think this needs to be edited for things to be removed.
  • There is uncited text in the article, including citation needed tags from March 2024.

Is anyone willing to address the above concerns, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 02:56, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
