The Assassins[edit]

There is a mention of The Assasins belt stripping, but no mention of who the Assasins were or if he was part of them or agains them. LessThanClippers (talk) 23:36, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gimmicks and Heel vs. Face[edit]

Some gimmick info would be nice, so would his status as a heel or a face. I think he was mainly a heel, correct?LessThanClippers (talk) 01:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Retired in 99?[edit]

Where did you get this info from? I've seen NJPW matches on EuroSport from 04-05ish and Masa Saito appears now and again. MPJ-DK (talk) 15:24, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Masa Saito/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Hi. I am reviewing your article Masa Saito for GA. I have read through it and have a couple of comments.

There is a dead link that I commented out: http://www.otherarena.com/htm/cgi-bin/biography.cgi?kenpater
In "Finishing and signature moves", why are some of the entries bolded and some are not?
I feel there are too many short sections, containing only a few sentences.
Other than describing his wrestling career in the form of the championships he won etc. there is very little sense of his character as a wrestler, his training, his motivation etc.
The brief section "Battery", other than saying that he was sent to prison, there is no mention of the impact of such an event on his life or his career.
There is nothing about his personal life. Normally, I am not a stickler for this, but in the absence of any personal information at all, something is needed in this article to bring the article subject to life.
The writing style is very dry and nothing stands out about this person for the average reader.

Final GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): The prose is grammatically correct, but very dry and uninteresting. b (MoS): No MoS errors noted
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): The article is well referenced b (citations to reliable sources): The sources are reliable c (OR): No original research
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): The article does not set the subject in sufficient context for the general reader b (focused): It is too focused and does not contain sufficient information on the subject to be interesting
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias: NPOV
It is stable.
No edit wars etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

I am sorry to fail this article. Normally your articles are very good. Perhaps there just is not enough information available on Masa Saito to provide for a GA. You may, of course, resubmit the article at GAN or list it at GAR. —Mattisse (Talk) 02:04, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
