Talk:SS Mauna Loa/GA1

GA Review[edit]

I am placing this article on hold. First of all, there is a very large number of red links. Also, the prose is lacking references. Alert me on my talk page when you are finished. ṜέđṃάяķvюĨїήīṣŢ ^{Drop me a line} 16:36, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I posted questions for you regarding this hold on your talk page. Please feel free to respond in either place. — Bellhalla (talk) 17:48, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copy of discussion

Thank you for taking the time to review SS Mauna Loa for consideration as a good article. I'm more than happy to work to improve the article, but am stumped as to what prose is lacking citations. Can you clarify that for me please? Also, could you let me know where the guideline that addresses redlinks is in Wikipedia:Good article criteria? Maybe I'm reading it differently than the consensus, but I don't see anything that addresses redlinks. Many thanks in advance. — Bellhalla (talk) 17:42, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The prose is the lead section. The redlinks are not necessary for GA, the article just looks more professional. I'm sorry, I should have clarified both of these. Cheers, ṜέđṃάяķvюĨїήīṣŢ ^{Drop me a line} 17:50, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The style that I prefer does not clutter the lead with citations (unless there is a particularly compelling reason to do so). This is a style that is sanctioned at WP:LEADCITE and is in use in a great many featured articles.

Also, as an FYI, I moved your original review on to the review page at Talk:SS Mauna Loa/GA1 (the link generated from {{GAN}}). — Bellhalla (talk) 17:58, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
