Quality of article[edit]

Why was the article delisted as a "good article"? The note above says there are suggestions here about how it could be improved, but these and all other comments appear to have been removed. Why? Deipnosophista (talk) 07:15, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Deipnosophista: The full reasons are set out at Talk:Catholic social teaching/GA1.

The primary issues raised by the reassessing editor were the lack of independent sourcing—that is, sourcing that isn't directly from the Catholic church—as well as a few statements that were not verified by the sources. If one compares the version available at the time of the reassessment with the version now, I'd say these issues have been addressed to some extent.

As it was in February 2010, the majority of the article's references took the form of pointers to encyclicals. The article still relies too heavily on primary sourcing—a general problem across religious articles. Specifically, now, it probably relies too heavily on the Catechism. Obviously, it has now been expanded to cover developments since Francis became Pope. The secondary sourcing has improved, although there's plenty of sources out there to improve it.
