@David Hurney: I see that you have never edited this article. The GA nominations page states: "Anyone may nominate an article to be reviewed for GA, although it is preferable that nominators have contributed significantly to the article and are familiar with its subject and its cited sources. Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article must consult regular editors of the article on the article talk page prior to a nomination." You also have not edited in quite some time. Are you available and able to respond to GA comments in this review? Are you confident that the article is adequately prepared against the GA criteria? —Ganesha811 (talk) 15:45, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Time to close this, maybe? It's good that you noticed this was a drive-by before spending alot of time on an in-depth review. (t · c) buidhe 07:01, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I usually give it a week, so I'll wait until the weekend's over. But seems like we're headed that way, yes. —Ganesha811 (talk) 08:06, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No response from nominator - close as unsuccessful. —Ganesha811 (talk) 10:25, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am quick-failing this review due to substantial sourcing and copyright issues. Not only are there unsourced passages, but a significant amount of content is plagiarised or closely paraphrased (WP:CLOP).

For example: Article: "In this context, the 19th-century European artist was seen as an individual who possessed the technical skills to accurately depict what was seen, with draughtsmanship allowing one to record information about coastlines and harbours prior to the advent of photography." Source: "One aspect of the artist in the 19th-century European context was a personal who possessed skills to depict accurately what was seen...British naval officers were required to learn draughtsmanship in order to record accurate information about coastlines and harbours. Before the advent of photography..."

Or Article: "British officers who worked as surveyors, architects, and engineers in colonial Singapore were some of the early artists to create images of Singapore, such as Charles Andrew Dyce and John Turnbull Thomson." Source: "British officers who worked as surveyors, architects, and engineers in colonial Singapore were some of the earliest artists to capture impressions of Singapore, among them, Charles Andrew Dyce and John Turnbull Thomson."

I will restore this article to pre-copyright violation text, and request that the revisions be removed per WP:REVDEL. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:26, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
