Hi Mark, All,

They certainly don't look the same, unless the person "reviewing" the article utterly lacks any competence to review the article, in which case they should kindly refrain from doing so. Anyone who has even very basic competence knows what is an uncontroversial statement that appears in numerous textbooks in their field.
Just stumbled over another example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance
There were also other arguments for not promoting to GA right now (e.g. relation to the [[Italian renaissance]]) article) but prominetly cricized was the lack of in-line cites.
Heck, this is an overview article. It should only contain current widespread consensus to be found in major textbooks.
Yes, as specific scholars are mentioned, their works can get a footnote, but that's not primarily a WP:V issue.
