Reared vs Raised

Reared is a better use of English than the word "Raised." See here: --Trulexicon (talk) 06:19, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Reared sometimes refers to an animal. He is not an animal. He is a human being. This may be a BLP violation. QuackGuru (talk) 20:03, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
I agree with Quack on this one. Thanks, SqueakBox 20:08, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm quite aware he is a human being; there are some sources which use the term "reared" refering to an animal, although I've seen many sources shuch as the book provided above which use the term rear for a human as well. There are cases in which the term rear is inapproprate, such as the term being used outside one's formative years; for example Larry being born in Alaska but being reared in Seattle (and was 17 at the time he moved). In that case yes that would be an inapporprate use of the term reared.--Trulexicon (talk) 02:13, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
The word "reared" is a BPL problem. QuackGuru (talk) 20:17, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

GA review

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:
    B. MoS compliance:
    List at the bottom looks a bit weird. Could do with paragraphing, but I won't fail it on this alone.
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
    C. No original research:
    Criterion 2 passed with flying colours.
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    B. Focused:
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
    Points 1) and 3) in the list tip the scales in Citizendium's favour slightly. How about merging those points together to make something more neutral? Looks fine now.
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
