About the article on Eve...

Why don't you think it deserves bronze? Let's take a look at the criteria needed for a bronze brainstar, copied from the article on article rating.

  • Article must not be a stub or VSA and should not be tagged with any of the "articles requiring attention" categories.

Let's see. Nothing says it's a stub, it's obviously not "very short", and has no "articles requiring attention" tags.

  • Article is formatted correctly according to the manual of style.

Okay, I read through the manual of style. I'm already a grammar freak, so that isn't a problem for me. Sections are arranged in the right order. Sections are properly titled. There are no problems with links. References are properly arranged and written, now that that one bug has been fixed. I've provided good edit comments, and didn't use any mass deletions. So far, there are no images (which is a requirement for silver but not for bronze). Everything seems good with this requirement. If anything, you sort of broke it by performing a mass deletion without putting it in the talk page first.

  • Article contains appropriate internal and external links, categories, and references if appropriate.

Yep, this is all peachy keen. There's a lot of blue text (light and dark), it's in more than a few categories, and several references.

  • Article is coherent and free of needless in-jokes, such as irrelevant references to Conservapedia, and the jokes and snark it does contain are balanced with factual content.

No goat jokes or anything. The only joke was the one with Eve discovering gold and silver, but I put the Template:Lie tag and the rest of the article does not read with a humorous tone (it's not dry or dull, either, but it's not funny).

  • The article content is original, and not largely copied (even under license).

Only parts I copied was the thing from The God Delusion and an excerpt from the 1611 KJV which was modified so much (modernizing grammar and spelling) that it looks more like the NIV with a few word choice changes. This doesn't seem to be "largely copied" to me.

So it meets all of the requirements for the Bronze brainstar. I've added it back in.

Okay, I'll respond on the article talk page.

For what it's worth, I listed some ideas that might help it get silver. But it's really incomplete.
