Hi! I'll be reviewing this article for GA status, and should have my full review up shortly. --Seabuckthorn  05:25, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]


1: Well-written

Check for WP:LEAD:

  1. Check for Correct Structure of Lead Section:  Done
  2. Check for Citations (WP:LEADCITE):  Done
  3. Check for Introductory text:  Done
    • Lead should provide an accessible overview with Relative emphasis. The lead section should briefly summarize the most important points covered in an article in such a way that it can stand on its own as a concise version of the article. Significant information should not appear in the lead if it is not covered in the body.
    • Check for Provide an accessible overview (MOS:INTRO):  Done
      • Major Point 1: History and origin "It caused an Internet sensation … meal ideas in the world." (not a concise summary of the History and origin section, points like The Daily Telegraph quote can be moved to the body and summarized in the lead)
      • Major Point 2: Preparation "" (not in the lead)
      • Major Point 3: Recognition "The Bacon Explosion's creators … won at the 2013 Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival." (not a concise summary of the Recognition section)
    • Check for Relative emphasis:  Done
      • Major Point 1: History and origin "It caused an Internet sensation … meal ideas in the world." (the lead gives due weight as is given in the body)
      • Major Point 2: Preparation "" (not in the lead, the lead does not give due weight as is given in the body)

    • Check for Opening paragraph (MOS:BEGIN):  Done
      • Check for First sentence (WP:LEADSENTENCE):  Done
        • A bacon explosion is a pork dish that consists of bacon wrapped around a filling of spiced sausage and crumbled bacon.
        • Definition and notability should be in the first sentence (WP:BETTER). As per WP:LEADSENTENCE, The article should begin with a short declarative sentence, answering two questions for the nonspecialist reader: "What (or who) is the subject?" and "Why is this subject notable?".
      • I think "most popular" is notability and should be incorporated in some form in the first sentence.

This article is a very promising GA nominee. I’m glad to see your work here. All the best, --Seabuckthorn  09:45, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! To address part of the second bullet (WTW), I changed the two instances of "noted" to "assessed" and "asserted," respectively. (Megatron Omega (talk) 06:55, 23 January 2014 (UTC))[reply]
I worked on the lead and hopefully resolved the issue by covering the preparation and focusing more less on the details of the awards. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 14:52, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Good. --Seabuckthorn  17:01, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK, everything looks good now. Passing the article to GA status. --Seabuckthorn  17:01, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
