GA Reassessment[edit]

Hi. I peer reviewed this article because an editor wished to take it to FAC. In course of the peer review, I discovered major problems with the use of sources. These are the problems I found:

Note 1. Source does not give 9.2 figure.

It gives the rounded value to 9 km/s [1]. n

Done I see you've changed the text to "about 9 km/s." Good. Ricardiana (talk) 21:23, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note 5. Dead link - needs to be removed and another source found.

✗ Not done Still needs another source. This is not esoteric info and there are other sources that give it, so there's no reason to have a dead link. Ricardiana (talk) 21:23, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

done

Note 6 - a. Cites information only partially given on website. Figure of 570,000 not given in source.

Done You've fixed this. Good. Ricardiana (talk) 21:23, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note 6 - b. Source does not even mention Thebe.

✗ Not done Changed, but now the note is given as a citation for the statement about Adrastea and Metis, neither of which are mentioned in the source. Ricardiana (talk) 21:23, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

done

Note 6 - c. Source does not even mention Europa. Wording and statements appear to be taken from uncited website.

Done No note 6 - c in current article. Ricardiana (talk) 21:23, 22 May 2009 (UTC) -- Source now given (note 12) does contain cited info. Ricardiana (talk) 17:10, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note 10. Link didn't work for me.

Done Fine now. Ricardiana (talk) 21:23, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note 14. Source does not even mention Himalia or Elara.

DoneOK. Ricardiana (talk) 21:23, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note 17. Source does not even mention space debris.

Done OK. Ricardiana (talk) 21:23, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note 21 - a. Source does not even mention Amalthea or Comet Shoemaker-Levey 9!

✗ Not done Your source for Comet S-L is OK. However, your info about Amalthea and the eight-year study beginning in the 1990s is now cited to an article from 1892!! That's completely unacceptable. Ricardiana (talk) 21:23, 22 May 2009 (UTC) ~ see note 27 in this version: [2] Ricardiana (talk) 01:21, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

done

Note 21 - b. Source does not mention Europa.

they actually do.

Done It does now. The version here [3] didn't. Ricardiana (talk) 01:16, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note 21 - c. Citation is to this statement: "Major scientific results of the Galileo mission include" - followed by a number of findings not mentioned in your source.

Done OK. Ricardiana (talk) 21:23, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note 23. Does not mention wind - at all!

✗ Not done I clicked through every tab on the cited web page and searched for wind. "Wind" came up 0 of 0 times on each tab. Ricardiana (talk) 21:23, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

that is because the website got updated from when this was a GAN. Nergaal (talk) 00:42, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

added a new ref. n

Note 30. Source doesn't say anything about funding, or competition for funding; it only lists other projects. Your conclusion is original research, which is not acceptable.

✗ Not done Nothing's changed here. Ricardiana (talk) 21:23, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

removed statement

Note 31. Source does not mention Ganymede or proposed Ganymede orbiter.

✗ Not done PDF source does mention the orbiter, but appears to be someone's PowerPoint presentation - not a reliable source. Ricardiana (talk) 21:23, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

the reference is entiteled "OPF Study Team (2008-08-28). "Outer Planet Flagship Mission: Briefing to the OPAG Steering Committee" The sentence discusses a proposal which is hosted under these guys, and you are saying that their proposal is not reliable? If I am proposing you to stop being a useless/careless GAR reviewer would that make the proposal unrelable? Nergaal (talk) 00:42, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dude, stop with the personal attacks, please. I know the PowerPoint is hosted on a .edu site, but that doesn't impress me. It's not like this is cutting edge info that only these people know about it - it's readily available - see "ganymede+orbiter"&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&ned=us&btnGt=Show+Timeline, for example. Ricardiana (talk) 06:02, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

added a nasa ref

Because of the unacceptable use of sources, I believe that this article fails Criterion 2, that articles be factually accurate and verifiable. Ricardiana (talk) 16:34, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

asides from the last three, most of the issues should be fixed now. the latter 3 are websites about future planned missions, websites which seem to have been updated/trimmed since the GAN. Nergaal (talk) 03:28, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Then they need to be replaced. In any case, there are still issues, most notably citing information about the late twentieth-century to a late nineteenth-century source. I'm delisting this as a Good Article. Feel free to nominate it again when these issues are resolved. Ricardiana (talk) 21:23, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wohoo! I don't quite understand exactly how is this supposed to work. I have made an initial reply a couple of days ago and your reply is time is up? You should better go back and read the instructions for GAR and you will see that #4 says
"Allow time for other editors to respond. It is also courteous to notify major contributing editors or WikiProjects and the most recent GA reviewer.

Nergaal (talk) 00:16, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You had time to respond, as evidenced by the fact that you did, repeatedly - just inadequately. I mean, come on - adding a source from the nineteenth century to "cite" information about the 1990s? I did notify both you and the GA reviewer, as you well know, or would if you had checked. The article is delisted. Now that I look at it, yes, a week is suggested, which I admit I didn't notice before, but your attitude, coupled with "fixes" to the article that simply repeat the same problems, are not encouraging. Feel free to re-nominate the article, as I said. Ricardiana (talk) 00:32, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, I just misread the sentence and I though it refers to the discovery of the satellite - which is what the reference would have cited. You probably need to check on Wikipedia:Assume good faith, or "a fundamental principle on Wikipedia", before you haste yourself into making conclusions. Nergaal (talk) 00:49, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think I assumed bad faith. I simply said that your source doesn't contain the information you say it did. I don't really care why that is; it just is. Ricardiana (talk) 01:09, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Despite your incivility, you have until the 26th. Ricardiana (talk) 00:38, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is clearly out of your reach so I think it is probably better if this gets moved from an individual reassessment to a community one. And by the way, stepping on other user's toes is also a form of incivility. Nergaal (talk) 00:45, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Did you notice that I reverted the delisting, per your request? Perhaps not. In any case, as we obviously disagree, I have put the article up for community re-assessment, as you wish. Ricardiana (talk) 01:09, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
