Collaboration on turning this into a Good article

What is a good article?

A good article is—

Well-written:
(a) the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and

(b) it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.^[1]
Verifiable with no original research:
(a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;^[2]

(b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose);^[2] and

(c) it contains no original research.
Broad in its coverage:
(a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic;^[3] and

(b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.^[4]
Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:^[5]
(a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content; and

(b) media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.^[6]

Notes

^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style is not required for good articles.
^ ^a ^b In-line citations, if provided, should follow either the Harvard references or the cite.php footnotes method, but not both in the same article. Science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines.
^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required by WP:FAC; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not necessarily outline every part of the topic, and broad overviews of large topics.
^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of constructive editing should be placed on hold.
^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement for Good articles. However, if images (including other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.

Comments

1. Well written: (a) the prose is clear and the spelling and grammar are correct; and (b) it complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, jargon, words to avoid, fiction, and list incorporation.

3. Broad in its coverage: (a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic; and (b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).

4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without bias.

Notting Hill name

I once saw a very old ordinance survey map where Notting Hill was called "Noding Hill"

"Caribbean immigrants were drawn to the area in the 1950s, partly because of the dubious practices followed by the landlord Peter Rachman,"

Clarification required on this sentence. What 'dubious practises' is the author referring to? What precisely was the connection between Rachman's activities and Carribean immigrants? 195.112.55.34 (talk) 12:09, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

'New Crossrail Station'

This section reads like campaigning material; I question whether it's really appropriate for the page. Ref WP:SOAP and WP:BALL ---- 86.1.64.115 (talk) 00:55, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Economic Impact

The figure of £93 million is based on a multiplier applied to a direct figure of £45m direct benefits. I question this. The multiplier is drawn from the British arts Festivals association who are not a disinterested source and it is only applied to benefits not to costs. All the stall holders along Portobello Road are closed down & replaced by other stalls selling - almost without exception - barbecued food, yet this is might be seen as a neutral economic effect. I would also suggest that it is unlikely that more casual traders pay the same rate of taxes (if any) that the regular stalls might pay. Householders pay upto £400 to have their properties boarded up. Obviously this creates profit for builders (plus the "multiplier") but the householder experiences this as a loss which cannot even be claimed on insurance, as a burglary would. In which case an economic argument could be made for the positive effects of burglary or theft. In 2015 Boris Johnson said that 407 arrests (which seems likely to have been exceeded in 2016) was unacceptable - but has to be seen in context of "£93m benefits." In other words it IS acceptable due to this oft quoted figure. 02:02, 30 August 2016 (UTC).-Streona (talk) 02:03, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
