GA Review

[edit]

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch

A good article is—

  1. Well-written:
    (a) the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and
    (b) it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.[1]
  2. Verifiable with no original research:
    (a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;[2]
    No it doesn't. There's no requirement for references to be in English. If an equivalent English reference is available, it should be used, but if none exists then foreign language sources are acceptable. In this case, none exists. --70.71.29.231 (talk) 04:30, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry, that's not what I meant. It's title needs to be in English. ~EDDY (talk/contribs/editor review)~ 14:08, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    I changed the reference title to the name of the website: "Welcome to the 28th Hong Kong Film Awards". This is not a direct translation of the reference title. The Chinese reference title came from the page header, which, translated into English, means "26th Hong Kong Film Awards winners". Restrictions on non-English sources would worsen our systemic bias. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 11:56, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    I mistyped. Why don't you have a direct translation? ~EDDY (talk/contribs/editor review)~ 21:24, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    (b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose);[2] and
    (c) it contains no original research.
  3. Broad in its coverage:
    (a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic;[3] and
    (b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
  4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
  5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.[4]
  6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:[5]
    (a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content; and
    (b) media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.[6]


Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style is not required for good articles.
  2. ^ a b In-line citations, if provided, should follow either the Harvard references or the cite.php footnotes method, but not both in the same article. Science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines.
  3. ^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required by WP:FAC; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not necessarily outline every part of the topic, and broad overviews of large topics.
  4. ^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of constructive editing should be placed on hold.
  5. ^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
  6. ^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement for Good articles. However, if images (including other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.

The status of the review is unclear. Is the article partially reviewed? Is the nomination on hold? (P.S. The anonymous editor is not me, but Haemo, who helped me copyedit the article.) --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 11:56, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
