Dear Grammarians, is the following sentence grammatically correct? Thanks.
The articles which do what are claimed for them can be called good quality articles.
  

Top answer

Ye Thu The articles, which do what are claimed for them, can be called good quality articles. Just need to add commas for a subordinate phrase. If it reads OK with the part between then commas then its a good subordinate phrase- the phrase is to add information to the object that is "articles".

Dear fivejedjon, an anonymous person commented that " The articles which do what are claimed for them can be called good quality articles." is incorrect. I wonder why? Please explain it to me. Thanks a million.

That person clearly prefers 'that'. I cannot explain somebody else's preferences I'm afraid.
