GA Review

[edit]

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
I apologize for my previous hasty quickfail. I am looking forward to working together with you by reviewing this article. I will be adding comments about the article sequentially as I read it. You may begin adressing my comments as you see them. I will strikethrough my own comments as I am satisfied with your actions. I would suggest that in the line following each of my comments you comment on your action or opinion. This will make our discourse easier to follow. Eventually, I will then summarize my comments in a standard GA review template but not until I have read the entire article critically.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 03:32, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Review

[edit]

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


Sufficient breadth and depth for GA, but much more needed for FA. Minor prose concerns. Fair use image needs better FUR. I would like more and better secondary sources.

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:
    See comment. I have many issues
    B. MoS compliance:
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
    Very unfamiliar with primary resource citation as extensive as here.
    C. No original research:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    I have noted many elements of his character that are not mentioned
    B. Focused:
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
    I believe that all praise is a summary of secondary sources and that it reflects the consensus opinion. Praise is extensive, but I believe deserved and encyclopedic in this case. It might be a bit much for some. My eyes may be clouded as a fan.
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
    See Jack Sparrow, Padmé Amidala for a good FURs.
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:

Comments

[edit]

Quick comment: a search for the word tissue surprisingly yields no results. Can you write an article about this character without describing the role tissues play in his life?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 04:03, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, I sure have left out a lot of quirks and phobias, I'll see what I can do.--Music26/11 15:43, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This guy is a character who is notable in large part for his mannerisms. A WP:GA has to address them. As long as you are continuing to progress, I will work with you.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 04:53, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since I am slow, you may want to take some time join flickr.com and request consent to change the licensing on some photos for use on WP. Only one of your two images seems to be licensed properly. You are going to have to ditch the main image. However if you write people at flickr, I bet you might be able to get consent on another image or two.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 05:46, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Which image isn't porperly licensed? Because I don't see the need in ditching one.--Music26/11 15:43, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to say nice review, and I'm glad you came back Tony. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 07:09, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Has there been any updates to this nomination? It is currently one of the longest-held nominations at GAN. Gary King (talk) 16:36, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

When you combine a slow reviewer and a slow editor. This is what you get. We are making progress, but it is slow. If we are up against a deadline this would fail for lack of detail on mannerisms and such, but we are making progress.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 16:49, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That's mostly my fault, I hope you don't mind.--Music26/11 16:53, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
