GA Review

[edit]

Reviewer: Carbrera (talk · contribs) 00:43, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am Carbrera, and I'll be reviewing this article for possible good article submission.

Full review coming very soon. Carbrera (talk) 00:43, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

[edit]
  • This is just a thought, but since the potatoes in the photo look diced, could you perhaps add 'diced' to the photo description? I guess it's not 100% necessary if you don't agree
  • In the article you mention that it 'is usually served cold', so in the infobox, should you mention that it could also be served hot for the serving temperature?

Lead

[edit]
  • Is the 'Beurre composé' part necessary?
  • Should 'chateaubriand steak' be linked while 'chateaubriand sauce' isn't because the actual article is for the steak and not the sauce?
  • Remove 'the' from 'be used in the place of a sauce'
  • When I personally tried this butter, it tasted pretty sweet to me; should you change 'sweet' to 'sweeter'?

Etymology

[edit]
  • The lead sentence is trying to convey a ton of information; could this be broken into two more condensed sentences?

Preparation

[edit]
  • I would change 'Vinegar has been used' to 'Vinegar is sometimes used', since the cayenne pepper section is the same tense
  • Since 'parchment paper' is linked, 'plastic wrap' should be linked as well

Uses

[edit]
  • I would put the source in the lead sentence after 'condiment' instead of after 'foods'
  • Probably not best. See WP:LEADCITE, where it states, "Because the lead will usually repeat information that is in the body, editors should balance the desire to avoid redundant citations in the lead with the desire to aid readers in locating sources for challengeable material." (et al.) North America1000 01:55, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • The second sentence reads awkwardly; to me, it sounds like you're calling 'fish, eggs, vegetables, potatoes, and breads' as types of grilled meats; could this be reworded?
  • Insert an 'and' before 'placed atop foods during...'

In Chateaubriand sauce

[edit]
  • Once again, should 'chateaubriand steak' be linked while 'chateaubriand sauce' isn't because the actual article is for the steak and not the sauce?
  • And again, I would move the sources in the lead sentence after 'steak' instead of after 'sauce'

End of GA Review:

[edit]

Once again, another really good food-related article. However, I want you to review my suggestions and make any changes. Thanks. Carbrera (talk) 00:59, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's comment:

[edit]
  • Advance notice – Just so you know in advance, when creating and expanding this article, I pretty much "used up" almost all of the reliable source coverage about the topic in the English language that is available online. Some sources essentially report the same content in different manners. Some French book sources are available that provide snippets of information here-and-there, but I lack adequate fluency. Additional websites are available, but do not constitute Wikipedia's definition of reliable sources. North America1000 02:09, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Northamerica1000: I'm sorry about the delay in the review. I'm not trying to make excuses for myself, but I've had a lot of personal things happen lately. I promise there will be a review by the week's end. Thanks. Carbrera (talk) 00:52, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Good job! Definitely passing-worthy. Carbrera (talk) 02:06, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
