This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because it was recently promoted to WP:GA and I would like to nominate it for WP:FA at a future date. Advice and feedback would be appreciated.

• You said you wanted to know what to work on before taking to FAC, so I looked at the sourcing and referencing with that in mind. I reviewed the article's sources as I would at FAC.
  • • You've mixed using the Template:Citation with the templates that start with Cite such as Template:Cite journal or Template:Cite news. They shouldn't be mixed per WP:CITE#Citation templates.
  • Per the MOS, link titles and other information shouldn't be in all capitals.
  • Does The Mass Media and the Political Agenda have an ISBN?
  • Current refs 44, 46, 47, 74, 75, 81, 82, 83, 84, 86, 97, 158, 195, are lacking publisher, last access dates and/or other bibliographical information required.
  • Something is borked on current ref 48, there is a link right behind the p. where logically I expect a page number.
  • Current ref 72 (E-economy) is a book and should be cited as such, not like a webpage.
  • http://www.theleafchronicle.com/Article_not_found deadlinks
  • Please spell out abbreviations in the notes. You don't want your readers to leave your article, they might never return.
  • What makes the following sources reliable?
    • http://amsterdam.nettime.org/Lists-Archives/nettime-l-0009/msg00311.html
    • http://usgovinfo.about.com/library/weekly/aa012201b.htm and http://amsterdam.nettime.org/Lists-Archives/nettime-l-0009/msg00311.html

Hope this helps. Please note that I don't watchlist Peer Reviews I've done. If you have a question about something, you'll have to drop a note on my talk page to get my attention. (My watchlist is already WAY too long, adding peer reviews would make things much worse.) 23:19, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks so much! This is a very helpful "to-do" list. -Classicfilms (talk) 04:36, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Break

I have fixed the URLs above and have generally cleaned up the article according to some of the suggestions above. However, at the moment I now need to take a long wikibreak. Thanks to those who have helped and I hope that other editors will continue to improve the article. Regards, -Classicfilms (talk) 05:05, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
