2010 Auto Club 500[edit]

This peer review discussion has been closed.
. I've listed this article for peer review because I would like to renominate it for good article status, but I do not want to see it fail. On June 1, 2010, the article was nominated at Wikipedia:Good article nominations and was failed after the time to improve it ended. Since then I have improved it and would like to see how it would do as a good article nomination.

Royalbroil's peer review[edit]

  • I removed some basic wordy explanations that take away from the article's flow. The reader is expected to have at least a basic level of understanding on the topic of racing if they read a racing article. I'm unsure if an explanation of a green flag pit shop should be necessary. Certainly a caution period need not be explained because it's common to all motorsport now that Formula One finally decided to adopt them and have a basic safety level. A good way to get around this terminology problem is to wikilink to terminology in the List of motorsport terminology article like caution period.
  • Still didn't add date or time for qualifying, which were good suggestions by the GA reviewer. Only a minor deficiency.
    • Okay, I couldn't find it anyway. --Nascar1996 00:52, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Cite - invocation, national anthem singer, Andy Garcia...
    • I is already cited with the Race Summary. --Nascar1996 00:48, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Before the race, Denny Hamlin moved to the back because of an engine change on February 20, 2010 - date is awkward, how about change to "Before the race, Denny Hamlin moved to the back because his team changed engines since qualifying"
  • Overall it's in great shape, ready for GA. I'd immediately close the peer review and nominate it again. What killed it was that you didn't keep working out the problems on the article. Royalbroil 23:55, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
