GA concerns

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:

There are numerous uncited statements throughout the article.
The lead, at five paragraphs, is longer than the recommended number listed at WP:LEADLENGTH.
- Fixed.
There is a gallery section, even though Wikiped is not a gallery (WP:NOTGALLERY)
- Removed.
The "Batik museums" section contains promotional information, including when museums are open.
- Opening times are plain facts, not promotion, though whether we should be listing such details in a textile article is more doubtful; removed per WP:NOTCATALOG. We could in fact remove the whole thing to a separate list: List of batik museums if folks feel the business of museums is close to off-topic for this article.

Is anyone interested in fixing up this article, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 17:29, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would have been, as the GA nom a decade ago, had I been informed ... Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:48, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
