thread_title: Merge

message: This is a promising article. It is well-cited, appears to be broad in coverage and NPOV, and uses tagged images with a clear fair use rationale. However, it fails to live up to criterion 1a, that of "compelling prose". Most of the sentences in the article are very short and unvaried in style. Generally, the prose reads a bit too monotonously, as if it was written at an intentionally low reading level. 
The background section could also use some expansion, explaining directly what is meant in this context by "local representative government" and "responsible government".
With a bit of improvement in the prose, I'm sure that this article will pass. Please do resubmit it. MLilburne 12:12, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Failed GA

message: There has been good additions since the failed nomination but all of the points raised in the Failed GA comments above still need work and need to be addressed before promotion.  I get the feeling little effort was made to address those comments.  All the positive points raised in the last round still hold true. 
:The sentences are just too punchy.
:I also don't think that the issue of what "local representative government" and "responsible government" has been covered.
:Minor point but references are best placed after punctuation and should not be placed just before.Peter Rehse 01:59, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I corrected the references and did a bit of work on the Background section which I thought was the worst with respect to prose.  I'll do a bit here and there but I think the original authors need to take a careful look also.Peter Rehse 04:26, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I really didn't think that representative or responsible government needed any further explanation because this is an encyclopedia, and anything not understood can be looked up very easily. It would probably help if someone other than me looked over this article because I've written most of it. -Royalguard11(Talk·Review Me!) 22:23, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I felt it did mainly because each form could manifest itself in different ways.Peter Rehse 01:02, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: GA-review

message: The English in this article needs to be checked, the text is filled with errors. At the moment, I find it surprising to see a good article nomination for an article so poorly written. JdeJ 01:36, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Please check the language

message: As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "World History-Americas" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I have made several minor corrections throughout the article and expanded the lead (although it could be expanded further). Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 07:50, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
