I will be doing the GA Reassessment on this article as part of the GA Sweeps project. H1nkles (talk) 19:43, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still reading through the article but I can tell that the lead will need to be expanded. Per

In the History section there is a rather large time gap between Hoshina Masayuki (17th century) and Takeda Sokaku (19th century). The previous section of history is very rich and informative, then there is this large jump to Sokaku in the 19th century with no intervening information. Can this hole be explained? Is there more information that can be added? From a comprehensive standpoint I think there is more that can be done to fill in the gap.

I have read through the Aiki concept section and found the article very rich and well-written. The references are consistent and thorough. H1nkles (talk) 20:25, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

References 11 and 13 have dead links that will need to be repaired. Otherwise the format is good and the references are credible.

Overall the article is in good shape, the lead is not long enough, there are a couple of dead links in the references, and there is a big gap in the history section that should be filled in or explained. As such I will put the article on hold for a week pending work. I will notify interested projects and editors of this hold. Please contact me on my talk page should you have questions.

I do not see any work done on my suggestions since the review was completed. Since it has been nearly 3 weeks I am forced to finalize the assessment. I do not believe the article meets the current

GA Criteria especially related to MOS compliance (Lead) and comprehensiveness (History gap). As such I will delist the article with the hope that editors will pick up the tasks and renominate when the article meets GA Criteria. H1nkles (talk) 16:19, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply
